Allyson attended the University of Connecticut and graduated with her bachelor’s degree in Human Development & Family Studies in 2011. Following graduation, she proceeded to complete the Alcohol & Other Drugs Studies program at San Diego City College in 2017. From there, she spent time getting her Substance Use Disorder Registered Counselor through the California Association of DUI Treatment (CADTP). Her previous work experience before working for Jackson House was at the KIVA Women & Children’s Learning Center, which is a county-funded 90-day Women’s Residential Substance Use Disorder Program. Allyson currently works in the Outreach & Business Department but has also had her hands in being a Discharge Planner at Jackson House Recovery Center.

“I appreciate Jackson House’s all-in-network insurance model because it makes treatment at Jackson House accessible to more members of our community!”

Outside of work, she can be found on the dog beach with her Yorkie, James. She also enjoys trying new restaurants if she notices a new place has opened in her area. If she happens to have more time in her day, she also indulges in hot yoga as a form of self-care.
