Alison graduated magna cum laude with an MFA in Integrated Media Arts (social-issue, journalistic, nonfiction media) from Hunter College in 2008.

Alison recently started a blog called Saved To Draft, curating email drafts left unsent, and runs a ridiculous Instagram account @fatcatinbrooklyn. She once spent a month walking 500 miles across Spain but is equally delighted lounging in her hometown at the Jersey Shore. Alison lives in Brooklyn with a 26-lb cat named Scotty.
