Online Education Presenter: Alison Hight

Alison is a Director at Elevate whose primary vocational passion and expertise is in cultivating opportunities for individuals to engage their voice—as self-expression, acts of healing, bridges of connection, and expressions of personal power—and promoting truth and transparency. Because of this, she has pursued opportunities to work in the arts, media, and civic engagement. Outside of her expertise in the arts, media, and civic engagement, she has further enriched her fundraising acumen by working with youth and adult education, healthcare, and disability advocacy organizations, amongst others. She studied Visual Communications/Art History at the University of Buffalo where she completed her honor’s thesis on The Semiotics of Gendered Violence, served as the President of the Women’s Center, and wrote for The Spectrum.
