Allison Marshall served her fellowship in the Town of Shallotte. She worked closely with the parks and recreation director to plan and execute town-sponsored events. She also conducted a comparative study on municipal benefits, employment, and personnel policies in neighboring jurisdictions, leading to multiple improvements to the Town’s personnel policies. Marshall also conducted a benchmark report on standard operating procedures (SOP) in the event of a water or sewer main break and created an SOP for the Town.

Marshall graduated from North Carolina State University, receiving a bachelor’s degree in political science with a concentration in law and justice and a minor in Spanish. During her time at NC State, she interned on a local mayoral campaign and was director of career and personal development for her sorority, Chi Omega. Marshall was also the vice president and later, president, of NC State’s chapter of College Democrats. She was involved in other on-campus organizations including the Pre-Law Students’ Association, Pi Sigma Alpha honor society, and the Student Wolfpack Club.
