Spotlight on Allison Swanson: A Future Psychologist with Big Dreams

Meet Allison Swanson, a 14-year-old from Corry, Pennsylvania. She has a heart full of ambition and a bright future ahead. Born on October 26, 2009, Allison is the oldest of four siblings. She shares a close bond with her sisters, Kylie (13) and Hannah (11), and her younger brother Brenden (5), always looking out for them and making memories together.

Allison has a range of hobbies that keep her busy. She loves watching movies, with Home Alone being her all-time favorite, and enjoys shopping for the latest trends. But beyond fun and fashion, Allison dreams of becoming a psychologist. “I want to help people feel heard and supported,” she says, showing the compassion that will make her an excellent therapist one day.

When she’s not busy with school or family, Allison is planning her future travels, particularly to Hawaii. She’s drawn to the idea of relaxing on its beautiful beaches. Allison also has some clear favorites when it comes to food and music—Almond Joy candy and Frank Ocean’s songs are top picks, while her go-to drink is Mountain Dew. In school, she excels in English with Mr. McBriar, and outside of the classroom, she stays active with competitive cheerleading.

For Allison, a perfect date would be a simple day of eating Luchly’s and watching the Talk Tuah podcast—a relaxing mix of good food and fun conversations. With her positive attitude and big dreams, it’s clear that Allison is someone to watch as she grows and pursues her passions.
