Allison Stewart

I joined PACR in 2023, and have been Secretary since 2024. I initially ran for secretary as a way to meet more tumor registrars.

I grew up on a hobby farm in western Pennsylvania. I left the state in 2003 with a plan to live in at least 3 different parts of the country before I picked one to stay. I spent a few years studying plants in the Southeast, a few years in the Pacific northwest, and then a few more in the Midwest. I missed trees and hills, so I moved back to Pennsylvania in 2020. I’ve worked at Meadville Medical Center since 2020, and in our registry since 2021.

Now, I live on a small farm with my son, my parents, and a lot of pets. From my oldest, a 27-year-old parrot to the youngest, a flock of 3-month-old chickens, we’re always busy.
