I'm the Producing and Development Associate at Atomic Focus Entertainment, LLC (). Previously, I was the Associate Director of Creative Development for the STAGE Network, where I helped develop both scripted and unscripted content. I was the executive producer for STAGE’s original series "We Can Cook Too!" I also produced, directed, and performed in the award-winning independent rap music video "Fine, I’ll Write My Own Damn Song" (https://youtu.be/7Xe3nuVDkC4 ). I originally spent over 15 years as a working actress in television, and on stage in NY, Chicago, LA, and touring nationally. I also founded the company The Total Human, teaching personal growth retreats around the country; as well as the company Allyson Wonderland which centers around my art and art-related products. As a writer, I have several pilots under my belt, a screenplay, and just completed my first novel. I was the co-creator of the book "Acting and Modeling: The Guide to Chicago". I also had a paper route when I was 12 (but now I'm just bragging). I'm a proud alum of Northwestern University.
