After receiving her bachelor’s in music education from Westminster Choir College and master’s in choral conducting from George Mason University, she dedicated her life to music education ministry. Though she has focused much of her life on music education within churches, Allison has a deep passion for history. To explore her love for history while pursuing her degree with Liberty, Allison became a gardening volunteer at the Mary Washington House. At the same time, she has read or studied with almost all the authorities in the field of children’s choirs. Additionally, she is planning to serve as a mentor and consultant to churches looking to develop a children’s music program.
