Alison G
Alison lives in Trumbull with her husband, dog Hazel and two daughters (2011 and 2015). Although Alison grew up in the warmth of Ft. Myers, FL, she returned to New York immediately after graduating college. During her nearly ten years in Manhattan, Alison built a career and an amazing network of lifelong friends. She met her husband and was married there as well. When it was time for more space, they moved up the line to Stamford and then settled in Trumbull ten years ago. Some of Alison's favorite things are traveling, finding adventures, reading, and staying connected to family and friends.
