With a vibrant blend of American dynamism and Swiss precision, I thrive at the intersection of education, digital citizenship, and social-emotional learning. As a seasoned social pedagogue/worker, author, and consultant, my journey spans roles from teaching empathy in German hospitals to leading cultural studies and heading a German department in Swiss schools.At the helm of EDIT change management Sàrl and EDIT books, I've pioneered resources in digital citizenship for K-12 education, including the 'Edit Curriculum' and 'Stories for Social Emotional Learning.' My work on safeguarding, combined with my enthusiasm for storytelling, not only strengthened my role as an affiliated consultant with the Council of International Schools, but also led to a separate collaboration with the EPFL. This collaboration expanded my impact, resulting in the creation of the Oscar and Zoe series, now used in Swiss public schools."Would I Have Sexted Back in the 80s?" - a hands-on guide for navigating the digital challenges faced by today's teens - was my first venture in publishing. Since then, my expertise is regularly sought in media, including 24 Heures, The Economic Times, and World Radio Switzerland.Having influenced over 50,000 students, parents, and educators worldwide, I bring clarity and simplicity to complex digital dilemmas. When not engaging with digital communities or storytelling, I cherish life's quieter moments in a village nestled above Lake Geneva, Switzerland. Allison speaks fluent English, German, and French.
