Up Close & Personal—Director of Operations Allison Allie
Allison Allie is someone everyone at BU Style is eternally grateful for. Her grace, care, and attention to detail keep our world running smoothly. Thank you, Allison! You are our Director of Operations, and so much more!
She also offered a really wonderful insight into her name and how it relates to her work at BU:
“Whether you address me by my first or my last, both are my identity. Similar to brain, my left-side is ‘Allison’ analytical and methodical (polished) whereas the right-side is ‘Allie’ innovative and imaginative (creative). While studies conflict on the notion of the left/right brain dominance concept, evidence shows that my personality, thinking style, and way of doing things is dominate on both sides—I am Allison and Allie just as my style personalities are polished and creative!”
