About me
After graduating from Tulane University in New Orleans with a degree in French and a minor in Business, Allison pursued her lifelong dream of becoming a chef, and graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY, with a degree in Baking & Pastry. With her business acumen and culinary knowledge, Allison rose the ranks at Time Inc. and became an award-winning cookbook editor for Southern Living. Along the way, she graduated with a Master’s in Business from the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Moving to Atlanta in 2015, she was the Vice President of Operations for a locally-owned, meal kit company, Garnish & Gather.
As a client of Northwestern Mutual, Allison learned first-hand the power of forward-thinking financial planning and the value of a trusted guide along the way. In an “ah-ha moment” Allison knew it was time to leave culinary behind and become an advocate for individuals and families wanting the same peace-of-mind and clarity that comes with working with a trusted Financial Advisor. Allison, a Certified Financial Planner™, and Bri, who serves as her Director of Client Experience and Operations, guide individuals and their families toward financial wellness. They work with business owners and employees alike, helping them think through financial goals, retirement planning, wealth-building, and risk management. Allison serves as a Financial Advisor in the Goodwin, Wright network office of Northwestern Mutual located in Buckhead, GA.
Allison and her husband Steve live in Atlanta, GA, with their daughters Valkyrie and Andromeda. She has a renewed love of baking on the weekends and enjoys traveling to see her extended family across the US and in Latin America.

How Northwestern Mutual helps you live the life you want.
When people feel better about their money, good things happen—they become more confident and feel more secure. For more than 160 years, Northwestern Mutual has helped people achieve the financial flexibility they need to live more and worry less.
Being a mutual company means Northwestern Mutual reports to its clients, not Wall Street. They don't believe in chasing fads or taking undue risk for short-term gains. Instead, they take a long-term approach—both in the way we help people plan to reach their goals, and in the way they do business. This has served their clients (and mine) well through all kinds of economic ups and downs, including wars, recessions, even the recent pandemic.
It's why I'm happy to be part of a company that's in it for the long-haul and prioritizes clients over profit.
Lending a hand in my community.
As part of Northwestern Mutual, I'm proud to help accelerate the search for better childhood cancer treatments while supporting families undergoing treatment, and survivors from late effects. Here are some of the organizations we partner with:
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (ALSF)
ALSF funds cancer research, raises awareness, and supports the families of children with cancer. Since 2012, Northwestern Mutual, its employees, and financial professionals like me have donated more than $20 million to support ALSF and fund over 400,000 research hours.
Beads of Courage
Beads of Courage is an art-in-medicine program that helps kids with cancer tell their unique treatment story through colorful beads that are symbols of their courage.
