We were a part of the same sorority, Delta Zeta, but we really connected and clicked when we started a bi-weekly coffee date where we would catch up and […]

Ready for a funny story? Okay. I’ll tell you! I was working for Taryn Leach (the best) about five years ago. She had sent me to run an engagement party, and she had sent me without much instruction. I had two primary responsibilities. The first, and most important, was to provide anxiety relief to the […]

a Tyni Fairy Tale My friendship with Megan began during our undergrad. I had the privilege of getting to know Megan through the world of being Delta Zeta presidents.

Let’s go back to the beginning, shall we? Fall 2011… my “big sis” in the sorority world, told me about this guy she had a bit of a crush on. So in typical Krissy fashion, I immediately took it upon myself to grab her phone, call him up, briefly introduced myself, and let him know […]

I’ve been blessed to be born into quite the last name. Allegra— a verb in the beautiful Italian language “to be happy” is a clear depiction of what I always strive to be. Someday, I believe I’ll get married and have the choice to change my last name. As I am confident I will decide to, I do know one thing is certain — I’ll always be Allegra.

Life could take me many directions, but one promise to myself is to always strive to be happy - with that, we have
Always Allegra.
