Allie is married with pets (two dogs and two cats, to be exact!) and lives on the west side of Milwaukee. Surrounded by the beauty of the driftless region of Wisconsin, Allie grew up near La Crosse and spent summers tending a large garden with her grandfather – an experience she now credits with informing her choice to pursue an education and career focused on environmental justice. When not enthusiastically sharing and supporting the Urban Ecology Center’s mission as Facility Rental Coordinator, Allie enjoys reading, walking her dogs, and enjoying all Milwaukee has to offer with her husband.
