Allie is the founder and host of The Best Time, and she makes connections everywhere. On morning runs that turn into coffee stops, on planes, in cafés and restaurants, and while moving through the city, she has a habit of turning small moments into real relationships. Some of those chats have led to lifelong friendships, wedding invitations, new job opportunities, incredible shared experiences, and even the occasional unexpected encounter with a former president in a café.

She believes the magic isn’t just in making the connection, but in staying connected when it matters. Over time, Allie has learned that when you’re generous and intentional with your time and spirit, it leads to meaningful moments and deep connections that can span years, distance, and different chapters of life. That belief shapes everything she builds. Building this kind of community matters, because when people feel connected, they show up for one another and for the moments that make life richer.

Allie loves bringing people together who need to meet and creating spaces where curiosity leads, conversations flow, and people leave feeling inspired to do awesome things. She’s endlessly curious about how humans gather and connect, and loves reading, learning, and experimenting with what makes community feel alive.

By day, Allie works in qualitative consumer insights, where curiosity, listening, and understanding humans are at the center of her work. She lives in New York City, travels often, and is always looking to connect!
