Allison Buffett is from Chicago, Illinois. She is currently a junior pursuing a degree in Political Science with a coordinate major in Social Policy and Practice and a minor in Public Health. Her research interests include healthcare policy and the introduction of genetic data to improve healthcare delivery systems. She is looking forward to advancing her healthcare policy knowledge as a Policy Intern at Lift Louisiana. She is excited to work towards Lift Louisiana’s mission of empowering women to shape the course of their own lives by having access to reproductive health information and care. Through the generosity of NCI, she recently had the opportunity to attend a PLEN conference focusing on women in public policy. She is currently a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma, Tulane’s Women’s Club Soccer, and the Tulane Hullabaloo. In her free time Allison enjoys running in Audubon Park, indulging in New Orleans’ exceptional food, and watching (ridiculous amounts of) The Office.
