Allison earned a degree in Marine Biology from the University of Rhode Island, where she studied coral reefs in the British Virgin Islands and salt marshes in Rhode Island. She then worked in fisheries science in Alaska before spending a few years exploring the West Coast of the U.S. from 2020 to 2023. She completed her master’s at the University of the Virgin Islands, focusing on mangrove restoration, coral husbandry, and science communication.
