Webmaster & Resident Cat Lady

Yep, I'm a Red Sox fan!

A die-hard Red Sox fan, Allison is glad to be back in New England! After spending about 3 1/2 years pursuing a TV job in Syracuse, NY, she knew she wanted to start a new career that would get her back to using the Web skills she learned in college.

Allison grew up in western Massachusetts, and fell in love with the Burlington area while going to St. Michael’s College. It was there that she got her first taste of the Web world. She worked as the Online Editor of the Burlington Free Press for a year before heading to Syracuse for more schooling and a TV job.

She and her then-fiance were hoping to get back to the Burlington area, and in 2010 they both landed jobs within miles of each other in the Green Mountain state.

Exactly six years from the day they first met — On July 30th, 2011 –Allison married Rene Cusson II!  They got married at the chapel at St. Michael’s College, and had their reception on the Spirit of the Ethan Allen III.  It was a warm, sunny day with lots of friends, family and fun!

If Allison’s not working, she’s probably out jogging, skiing (if there’s snow!), volunteering or hanging out with friends.

While Rene was working for Fox Sports, Allison got the chance to go to a couple NASCAR races, including this one in Pocono, PA.

She got a "hot" pass, so she was able to go out on the track with Rene and get right in the thick of the action!

Anchoring at school- Syracuse University's Newhouse School. What she originally thought she'd want to do for a living!

Finishing her first triathlon! It wasn't a full triathlon- 1.5 mile swim, 20 mile bike ride, 3.5 mile run- but it was still pretty intense!

At home in Hadley with her parents and family friend. They were watching the 350th Hadley Anniversary parade!
