Allison is graduating from KIN’s interdisciplinary stream and plans to apply to a Master’s program in Australia where she hopes to continue her studies in Marketing and Management in the Sports and Entertainment field. “I want to utilize my dual citizenship with Canada and Australia to combine my undergraduate education with my strong interests and experiences in business and leadership.”
Allison has been an extremely active member of the KIN community. She was heavily involved with the KUS and UBC Recreation Intramurals. During her undergraduate degree, Allison served as a member of the KUS Graduation Committee, Constitution Committee, and as VP Student Life to name just a few. When she thinks back on what she loved about her time in KIN, she says, “I remember my first experience in KIN during Imagine Day and being in awe of the unique energy and spirit that the students and staff had. This component stood out among all of the other faculties on campus as it created an inclusive environment that made me feel welcome and excited for what was to come…. Overall, what drew me to the KIN program is really what made it unique, and it was essentially the community and I am so grateful to have been a part of it.”
Her involvement with UBC Recreation Intramurals included serving as Assistant Directors for the FUSO and Cross Volleyball Leagues and REC Director for the Lawn Sports and Flag Football Leagues. She says, “during my time in these associations and clubs, I developed lifelong friendships and professional networks that I will cherish forever.” Allison and two other keen kinners were selected to lead a team of 20 students to represent the School at the 2021 KIN Games, the largest KIN undergraduate competition in the country. She notes this experience to be very significant to her. “Despite the unconventional format, the UBC team persevered and won overall first place!”
