Hi! I'm Alison, an audience journalist and designer and the assistant audience service editor at
The Kansas City Star.
The Kansas City Star.
Originally from Shawnee, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City, I graduated from Northeastern University in 2022 Cum Laude, with a combined degree in journalism + interaction design. I'm passionate about spreading local news on platforms that target younger audiences, and giving journalists like myself beautiful platforms to tell their stories.
I strive to highlight stories from underrepresented communities, whether that's breaking down the history of Kansas City's now-defunct lesbian community on TikTok or helping highlight the urban cowboys on a mission to change KC's historically violent reputation on Instagram.
When I'm not in the newsroom, you can probably finding me watching every soccer game from the weekend (NWSL, Premier League, Serie A, you name it), reading with my cat or walking around my neighborhood, Gillham Park, with my girlfriend.
Reach out to me anytime for inquiries or thoughts:
