As Director of U.S. Operations, Allison manages the U.S. headquarters of ACCENT. Although primarily working on developmental and administrative elements of programs, she enjoys having contact with students by presenting pre-departure orientations and visiting school campuses. Allison's first overseas experience was a year in an English boarding school before attending Stanford University. As an International Relations major, Allison spent two quarters in Tours, France, studying French, international economics, political science and art history. After graduation, Allison completed an internship in the Slovak Republic through the organization AIESEC. Allison has been working with ACCENT since the opening of the San Francisco Center in 1991 and has very much enjoyed seeing ACCENT grow into the organization it is today. |
