She is a dedicated provider who has practiced in multiple healthcare settings with a focus on underserved populations. For the past 11 years she has been with the Community Health Clinic in McKinney Texas, a free clinic that serves an uninsured, low-income population. Originally from Texas, she earned a BS in Bio-Medical Science Texas A&M and her BS and MS degrees in Nursing from Texas Woman’s University. After a few years of NP clinical practice, she went back to earn her Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree St. John Fisher University in New York, with a focus on immigrant and refugee health. She has been a nurse educator ever since and enjoys guiding future NPs through her teaching. At Texas Woman’s University she helped lead student education abroad courses to Peru, and designed service projects for the students that included experiences such as health teaching at orphanages and Pad Project teaching for girls at a women’s shelter and local schools.

With a passion for service, Allison has participated in multiple medical mission teams to Central America and to Kenya. Currently, she is the Director of Health for Beyond the Light Project (BTLP), a nonprofit  that focuses on issues related to energy poverty in Latin America. Through BTLP she was able to help lead a program of research that studied the health benefits of implementing a ventilation system in homes that cook with wood burning fires. The program resulted in a significant improvement in respiratory health markers and they have provided solar energy to over 300 homes and 30 schools in areas of Central America and in Peru.

Allison likes reading, traveling, and playing music. She lives with her husband in Grapevine, Texas and loves spending time with her adult children and her grandson.
