Allyson was born and raised in Central Oregon. Playing volleyball and softball are some of her athletic talents and she got the opportunity to play both sports last year at Northwest Christian College. After a year at NCC, she decided to come back to Central Oregon and attend COCC to finish her Associate's degree. Her current plan is to get her Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice, however, what she wants to do with that degree is undecided. Two possibilities are a Forensic Scientist or an Animal Control Officer. During her Senior year of High School, Allyson did an internship and volunteered at the Humane Society of Redmond. After the internship was over she became an employee of HSR and worked the last two summers. Allyson enjoyed the animals so much, that she continues to work at HSR on the weekends but has joined Dancin' Woofs staff during the week while not in the class room. She has been a Dancin' Woofs employ since May, 2007 and plans to stay as long as possible before her schooling takes her away!
