A native of Philadelphia, Allison demonstrated her love of performing from an early age.  She started on stage playing roles such as Adelaide in Guys and Dolls, Miss Delilah Strict in Zombie Prom, Yonah in Children of Eden, Gloria Thorpe in Damn Yankees, Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors, and Bianca/Lois Lane in Kiss me Kate.  Being selected for numerous performing groups, choirs, and programs, such as Westminster Choir College Vocal Institute, led her to the Pennsylvania State Thespian Conference where she won a scholarship for her performance.  It was there where she was introduced to her future alma mater.

Showing her dedication, passion, and drive, she completed her undergraduate degree in three years attending Point Park University's Conservatory of Performing Arts in Pittsburgh.  While in college, Allison was accepted as an apprentice at Anne Reinking's Broadway Theatre Project.  She then went on to perform in numerous plays, industrial shows, and musicals while attending college, namely My One and Only directed by Niki Harris. Allison graduated Magna Cum Laude with a BA in musical theatre, while her a cappella quartet, Blonde, was chosen to sing at graduation.

Upon graduating and moving to Manhattan, Allison booked her first commercial before the weeks end.  She continued her stage work, performing in summer stock, regional, and off broadway productions.  After being approached to model, her career expanded to include print, editorial, runway, and television, which brought her to Los Angeles, only after appearing as a 'gold case model' on NBC's 30 Rock.

Shortly after arriving in Los Angeles, Allison was seen walking the runway as the first face model for Mercedes Benz Fashion Week.  The following season, she walked in the first show again, which was for Imasu by Kelly Nishimoto.  The fashion show was featured on the A&E series Gene Simmons Family Jewels, and her interviews for all seasons of Fashion Week canbe seen on Fashion TV, the Fashion Network, and The Daily.  

Allison is currently splitting her time between the east and west coasts.
