Alison lives in Fenay Bridge, Huddersfield, and is married with two children aged 11 and 13. She previously worked for ITV as an associate producer and at times, an undercover reporter. It was through that work that she met her husband, and together they went on to establish and run an award-winning computer business.

She trained part time at St Hild College, studying quite literally next door to her sending church, Christ the King, Battyeford. Outside of work, study, and family life, Alison enjoys playing the piano and violin, computer gaming, weightlifting, and travelling with her family in their campervan.

She is looking forward to serving her curacy at St Stephen’s, Lindley, and discovering what God is doing in that part of Huddersfield.
