Dance has always been an important part of my life. I have been tapping and pirouetting since I was four and even danced my way through New York. In 2009, I performed in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as part of my high school band’s dance team. If I am not dancing, I love to be in the water. My swimming career began at seven when I joined my first team and continued throughout high school. In the summer, you can find me at my neighborhood pool lifeguarding. I am that kid who would never get out of the water, whether it was a freezing pool or the salty Atlantic Ocean. The beach is probably my favorite place on earth. | Dance has always been an important part of my life. I have been tapping and pirouetting since I was four and even danced my way through New York.

About Me
I am a currently freshman at Duke University in the Pratt School of Engineering, planning to study biomedical engineering. I'm from Murrysville, Pennsylvania, a small town just outside of Pittsburgh, where I attended school at Franklin Regional School District.
Interests
Dance has always been an important part of my life. I have been tapping and pirouetting since I was four and even danced my way through New York. In 2009, I performed in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade as part of my high school band’s dance team. If I am not dancing, I love to be in the water. My swimming career began at seven when I joined my first team and continued throughout high school. In the summer, you can find me at my neighborhood pool lifeguarding. I am that kid who would never get out of the water, whether it was a freezing pool or the salty Atlantic Ocean. The beach is probably my favorite place on earth.
Name Pronunciation
Although a lot of people use a nickname for Allison, I don’t. My name sounds like: AL-iss-in CHAFF-o
My first name is pronounced like the children’s story, “Alice in Wonderland,” without the Wonderland of course! Some of my friends call me Chaff, so you can think of that as rhyming with “laugh”, and then add an “o” for my last name. Pretty easy stuff.
