Hi!
I'm Alison, an audience journalist and designer. Originally from Shawnee, Kansas, a suburb of Kansas City, I grew up in journalism, writing hypersensitive stories for my award-winning high school news magazine and frequently starting conversations with my peers about the importance of today's omnipresent news cycle and the ways in which good design plays a role in explaining the news.
Now an audience growth producer at The Kansas City Star, 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 graduated from Northeastern University in 2024 Cum Laude, with a combined degree in journalism + interaction design.
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.
Reach out to me anytime for inquiries or thoughts:
