Allie is an enthusiastic graduate of Coastal Carolina University with experience in magazine publication, collaborative research, public presentations, Microsoft Word, and one-on-one writing mentorships. She compliments her English major with a Digital Culture & Design minor that focuses on rapid prototyping, problem-solving, group engagement, and composition analysis. She is an alumnus of the Wall Fellows Program which is a highly selective, two-year leadership program. This initiative was designed to prepare exceptional students across all colleges within CCU for high-level careers in successful organizations. The selection process involves three in-person interviews following a rigorous self-reflective application process. Upon acceptance, students embark on a journey, practicing both professional skills and personal development strategies. In addition to the Wall Fellows Program, Allie was involved in the Coastal Writes Fellowship, Research Fellowship, and Presidential Ambassadors. These programs focus on mentorship, the composition of research, and learning to navigate and thrive in team environments. She was the Editor-in-Chief of the student-produced publication, TEMPO Magazine, for two years, where she conceptualized ideas and topics while working one-on-one with student writers to produce two completed magazine editions per year (Fall and Spring).
