Allison is a lifetime Girl Scout from Randolph Township. She went through the program from a first grade Girl Scout Brownie through a Girl Scout Senior in 12th grade. She graduated from Randolph High School in 2005. Now a 2011 master of architecture graduate from the University of Maryland, Allison's team is competing in the Department of Energy’s Solar Decathlon, currently ongoing on the National Mall at West Potomac Park in Washington, DC. As one of the two UMd team liaisons to the DOE, Allison has been with WaterShed since its inception.
