Allison CarrieBefore moving to the Pacific Northwest, Allison spent four years at South Dakota State University where she earned a B.A. in business economics and minors in marketing and Spanish. After graduation she decided to continue her education at Western Washington University, where she is now in the second year of the master's in business administration program. Allison hopes that her time at Western will assist her to become a successful small business owner. Beyond her educational experience, Allison has worked in a variety of industries including medical billing, forestry and retail sales.

Most of Allison's spare time is spent riding and showing horses. Her passion for showing horses has taken her to competitions across the United States, and a student rider competition in Belgium.
