About the Author

Allison Peterson has long loved reading, writing, and helping others. While earning her undergraduate degree at Michigan State University, deciding to pursue a degree in secondary English education was easy. Twelve years later, teaching has taken her from Michigan to Colorado to the Republic of Kosovo, and now, to Vietnam. Living abroad has allowed for extensive travel—29 countries and counting. Allison seeks out adventures involving the outdoors, cooking, language, and other new experiences. In December 2016, Allison completed a master's degree in Educational Leadership from Western Michigan University, and has since transitioned from classroom teaching to workplace development and training. Allison has been a freelance curriculum writer for four years and enjoys sharing the skills she honed as a teacher with other teachers, and focusing on fostering student agency and enthusiasm toward the curriculum.
