Allie grew up in the maple forests and rainbow streets of Northampton, Massachusetts; illustrating their own stories and writing poetry. She graduated from Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts in 2017 with a B.A. in Writing, then went on to earn an MFA in Writing for Children from Simmons University in 2019. She now works as an illustrator, writer, and marketing and communications professional for nonprofits and local businesses in the Connecticut River Valley.
