⭐ Name: Alison Foley
⭐ Hometown: Davenport, Iowa
⭐ Previous Degrees Earned: Bilingual Education from Western Illinois University

⭐ We asked: What moment are you most proud of from your time in school? I am proud of the critical thinking, capacity, resilience and presence I developed.
⭐ We asked: What's your favorite memory from your time at SAU? The connections that I made, they mean everything to me. I became good friends with a dear person who helped me in little ways along the way, and without him, I wouldn't have been able to get through.
⭐ We asked: What's next for you after graduation? I will be doing school-based therapy, spending more time in nature, and pouring more into my children.
⭐ We asked: What's one lesson you'll carry with you from your time in school? I won't forget the level of balancing it took me. It required a deep commitment to my goals.
⭐ We asked: If you could give your younger self one piece of advice, what would it be? If I knew then what I know now, I'd choose differently. Time is of the essence.
