Allison comes from a long line of storytellers.

Her great-grandfather, Rubén, was a poet for the national Colombian periodical El Colombiano.

Her grandparents, Soledad and Carlos, performed Latin folk songs and poetry to a captive audience at the dinner table.

At age three, Allison was given a dollar store microphone that echoed and she began to sing. She has never looked back.

Allison can be seen starring alongside Adam Sandler and Chris Rock in the Netflix original feature THE WEEK OF and in the hit Netflix Animated Musical Feature, LEO, alongside Adam Sandler, Bill Burr, Cecily Strong, Jason Alexander, Rob Schneider and Jo Koy. She recurs as Talia Goldstein in Season Two of the Emmy-winning Amazon Series THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL and stars in the independent feature EITHER SIDE OF MIDNIGHT directed by Roger Spottiswoode. Strong’s television credits also include NBC’s THE BLACKLIST, Nickelodeon’s DORA AND FRIENDS & the PBS Kids Animated Series PINKALICIOUS & PETERRIFIC. An accomplished bilingual VoiceOver artist with a home booth, Allison has proudly voiced various commercials and audiobooks in English and Spanish.

Hailed as “captivating” by Ben Brantley of the New York Times, Strong’s theatre aspirations began at age 9 when she became a member of the Metropolitan Opera Children’s chorus and appeared in productions of CARMEN and A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM. As a teenager, Strong made her Broadway debut as an ensemble cast member of BYE BYE BIRDIE. She has since gone on to perform in the Broadway cast of MAMMA MIA, while simultaneously completing her studies as a Musical Theater Major and honors student at Montclair State University. A former pastry arts student, she loves baking pies and experimenting with sourdough. She is also a hiker, paddle boarder and rock climber.
