Operations Associate
Allison began her professional career in college athletics after completing her collegiate lacrosse career at Marquette University. With a passion for growing the game and creating opportunities for athletes across the Midwest, she began her coaching career at Central Michigan University while completing her Master’s Degree in Leadership. After three years, she then joined the Eastern Michigan University women’s lacrosse staff as part of the program’s inaugural coaching team, helping build the program from the ground up. By her third year, she was promoted to Associate Head Coach, where she gained extensive experience in program development, event planning, logistics, and creating systems to support a growing team.
Throughout her career in athletics, Allison discovered that her passion extended beyond the game itself — she was most energized by helping others learn, grow, and succeed. She also found a natural niche in the behind-the-scenes details, building thoughtful systems, and creating structure from the start to help teams and organizations operate effectively. Her experience in athletics shaped her belief in the power of collaboration and shared goals, and she brings that same commitment to teamwork, organization, and attention to detail to her work at MEWI.
