Allison, her husband Mac and their 10-year-old fur-baby Titus live in the charming town of Bend, Oregon, just east of the Cascade Mountain range. Allison retried in 2017 after a 30-year career in healthcare and research administration. She is now pursuing the dream God placed on her heart several years ago, helping women understand their source of real value, and encouraging them to discover Jesus’ plan and purpose for their lives. Allison is a self-proclaimed introvert that loves to boldly and enthusiastically encourage, mentor, and support woman. She recently used her passion for art and writing to create BeLOVED, a blog site that challenges women to find their true value in Jesus. She is an avid gardener (although she shares gardening in Bend is more an act of faith than skill) that enjoys chatting with girlfriends over a warm cup of tea or hiking with Titus on a river trail. Allison has faced many challenges in her life. Her desire is to use them to inspire women to walk closely and confidently with God.
