Allie received her MD from the University of Michigan Medical School, where she also met her future wife, Joyce. After getting married, Allie completed her Nuclear Medicine residency at Stanford and began her career at Kaiser Permanente, where she helped expand her department. Five years ago, Alison started to have more persistent feelings that she was in the wrong body, so she came out to Joyce that she was transgender. In the years since her transition, she has been able to rebuild her sense of trust in the church and join an LGBTQ affirming fellowship. She is now also a speaker for Kaiser’s Transgender Education Program and an advocate for the transgender community.
