In one word: driven!

Understanding that climate change is disproportionately affecting groups of people who don’t usually have a voice in mainstream media, Allison uses her identity as part Caribbean to listen to and advocate for minority groups in the climate movement. A current junior at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri, she’s studying environmental analysis and dance. Here, Allison has worked for the Pachamama Alliance, the Sierra Club, and the Missouri Botanical Gardens.

Allison Fabrizio is CCL’s Climate Advocacy Fellow for the Tornadoes Region this year! She is currently a junior at Washington University.

Allison is not only busy with her studies and extracurriculars; she’s also the Climate Advocacy Fellow for the Tornadoes Region, where she conducts outreach to institutions of higher education and coordinates a variety of projects across the region. She does this all while continuing to be an active member of the St. Louis CCL chapter.

Allison connects her passion for dance with her passion for advocacy through her various dance communities, including WashU’s dance company and Jacob’s Pillow Afro-Latin dance ensemble. When she’s not dancing or advocating for others, she enjoys gardening, dancing, hiking, and cooking.

Allison says that “understanding different views and values allows me to connect to people who may not have a voice in this movement.” She wants to be the one who helps bridge the gap between these communities and amplify their voices!
