Allison has a B.Sc. in Agricultural Biology from the University of Saskatchewan and an M.Sc. in Tropical
Entomology from Simon Fraser University. In 2008, after two years as a Species at Risk Monitoring
Technician at Grasslands National Park, she began her Ph.D. studies in the School of Environment

conservation on the native prairie of southwestern Saskatchewan.
