Alison is a former colleague and a friend. When I was teaching, Alison was one of my Teaching Assistants. She was liked and respected by students and colleagues. Alison is a caring person who is able to communicate and relate to anyone. She is a sociable, ebullient person who will always do more than expected of her. She is an experienced carer and I wish her well for the future.
