Personal Biography

Outside of client work, Allison Whisenhunt draws energy from her two curious kids, who keep her fluent in Broadway scores and the latest video-game releases. She’s a committed Seattle Mariners fan, an avid traveler forever chasing new adventures, and happiest when she’s outdoors—especially in bear country. Life at home is lively, too, thanks to two dogs, a cat, and a charismatic Russian tortoise. Colleagues often rely on Allison’s quiet super-power: projecting steady calm even when the situation is anything but.
