Bio
Daniel Lingen
During our time working together at Microsoft, I had the pleasure of witnessing Allison's success and impressive work ethic firsthand. She consistently demonstrated her ability to care about the work she does and the people she works with. She was always willing to lend a helping hand and provide guidance whenever it was needed, even if it was not directly related to her own work. Her kindness and caring nature created a supportive and inclusive work environment that made everyone on the team feel welcome. It was a pleasure working alongside Allison, and I have no doubt that she will continue to excel in any new opportunity she pursues. I highly recommend her for any future employment opportunities, and I look forward to that chance to work with her again in the future.

Her attention to detail and thoroughness makes her a fantastic program manager as well who drives results.
