Allie Young x’26

Allie Young, from Greenwood Village, Colorado, chose UW–Madison for its national prestige, access to the health sciences campus, and love for Signe Skott Cooper Hall. She’s interested in ER nursing and women’s health, and may pursue an advanced degree in the future.

Her most memorable experience was studying abroad in Malawi, where she connected deeply with patients and enjoyed learning about a very different health care system. Allie advises students to say yes to everything, embrace new experiences, and learn from mistakes.

Fun fact: Allie is a fourth-generation Badger—her dad played football for UW.
