While at Elizabethtown College, Allison had the opportunity to conduct a research study.

In 2010, Allison continued to conduct research for a study called "Self-Reported Medical Problems of College Band and Orchestra Members" and participated in another poster session at the PMEA conference as well as presented at a research forum at the conference.

Allison's love for music and medicine has led her to where she is today. She has been working in medical research since 2011 for a company that supports imaging in clinical research trials as well as teaching private music lessons around the Ambler, PA area for over 5 years. In fall 2011, Allison returned to her high school alma mater as the front ensemble instructor for the Wissahickon Marching Unit.
