My name is Alison, and I am an MS2 originally from Roscoe, Illinois! In undergrad, I majored in Biology and Women, Gender & Sexuality Studies at Augustana College in Rock Island, IL. I believe that practicing good medicine is, in itself, an art, and that a deep understanding of the humanities is thus crucial to building meaningful connections with our patients. I love to write poetry, run, rock climb and go on outdoor adventures.
