Alison grew up on a farm in Mayerthorpe Alberta with a large variety of animals including mixed cattle, horses, chickens, rabbits, dogs and cats. Her passion for animals came alive when she graduated from Fairview College and became a technician. She worked in the veterinary world for 10 years and decided to switch things up a little bit and enter the human world as an emergency medical technician. Eventually, her love for animals ran too deep so she returned back to the veterinary world. Since then she has never looked back.

In Alison’s spare time she enjoys nature walks, gardening and spending time with her husband Ryan and two kids, Brock and Emma. They have recently welcomed a new addition to their family, a poodle named Philly Chilly Cheese Dog who they adore more than anything.
