About Me

Hi! I’m Alison, and I’m the editor-in-chief of Cubby, AT Media's site for families at home, and Dorm Therapy, the company's site dedicated to helping students feel at home at school, as well as the director of special projects for AT Media.

I’ve lined my bookshelves with magazines for as long as I can remember. I love creating content that helps people live happier, more fulfilling lives. Previously, I worked as the lifestyle editor at Boston Globe Media's Boston.com, where I oversaw coverage of arts and entertainment, food and restaurants, travel, and wellness, and I co-edited the Globe's popular Names page. Prior to Boston.com, I held editorial positions at WomensHealthMag.com and Glamour magazine. I've also worked as a full-time freelance journalist, crafting lifestyle and culture content with an emphasis on women’s issues for publications including Cosmopolitan, The Lily from The Washington Post, Well+Good, The Boston Globe Magazine, and Chicago Magazine.

I graduated from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, where I’ve taught as an adjunct lecturer. I’ve lived in a few different cities, but now I’m based in Chicago with my husband and two kids.
