Ally is a coastal Mississippi native who’s called Alabama home for the past twenty years. A homeschool mom to two wildly energetic girls, she’s also married to an Italian American pizza snob. After nearly a decade in youth and college ministry, Ally traded late-night theology debates for early-morning read-alouds at the kitchen table. She’s a deep thinker who geeks out over psychology, the brain, and the role of women in church history.

Now a podcast producer for Owl’s Nest Publishers, Ally is also the creative force behind two of her own shows: Turning Back the Pages, where she interviews authors about their favorite childhood books, and an investigative series launching in Summer 2025 that dives into the evolving landscape of Alabama’s libraries. She loves a good story—whether found in books, history, or the people she meets along the way.
