Alison grew up in Ireland and completed her undergraduate degree in Early Childhood Studies in Waterford, Ireland. She worked in a French crèche in Kilkenny, where she developed her love for the French language. She then moved to the United Kingdom to earn a degree in Primary School Teaching from the University of Birmingham. For the past four years, Alison has taught preschool and early elementary classes in London. She is excited to join the LLS community, where she can combine her love of French with her passion for early childhood education.
