About the host

Prior to becoming the host of Breakaway, Alison spent several years working as a researcher for CBC Montreal`s Daybreak, Homerun and Radio Noon, as well as CBC Quebec`s Quebec AM and Breakaway before becoming a radio news reporter in Montreal. In 2008, she moved to Sherbrooke to continue her work as a radio news reporter and in 2011, she become Quebec AM's official Eastern Township`s correspondent. While still in that role, Alison worked as a replacement host, a court reporter covering the trial of the Lac-Mgantic rail disaster, a web writer and a replacement news editor. Alison has always dreamed of becoming a radio host, and is proud to be able to continue sharing her love of Quebec with listeners across the province.

She holds a BA from McGill University with a specialization in Political Science, as well as a Graduate Diploma in journalism from Concordia University. A seasoned traveller, Alison enjoys adventures with her husband and two young daughters. And she likes to keep in shape playing water-polo a few nights a week.
