Allison Burnette

Children’s Director

Though born and raised in sunny Florida, Allison moved to Atlanta in 2018 and currently resides in downtown Decatur. She recently graduated with a Master of Divinity from Candler School of Theology. Before starting her program at Candler, Allison worked at a public relations agency where she coordinated community engagement and design projects across the region. She has lived in England on 3 separate occasions, including a year studying theology at Wesley House, a Methodist formational community connected to the University of Cambridge. That is where she met her partner, Alasdair, who is now doing postdoctoral research at Emory University. Despite being new(ish) to the area, Allison has quickly become a regular at several local coffee shops and can often be found at Marlay House pretending to understand soccer with her partner, Alasdair.
