Ann is a recent graduate of Rhode Island School of Design, completing her Master of Industrial Design in May 2022.

Her connection with Boston Chinatown is relatively new, but she immediately felt drawn to this Chinatown because it reminded her of the one she grew up with and frequented with her family.

“As a resident, what I want people to know about Chinatown is the history beyond the tourism and superficial. Such as how there was a movement for women to join the workforce when a telephone switching station was first built on Essex Street. I also want people to know the neighborhood had a diverse history of Irish, Syrian, Italian immigrants prior to the migration of Chinese immigrants migrating from San Francisco to Boston.”

Alison是一個黑波多黎各的唐人街居民，在唐人街生活一年了。作為一名居民，她希望人們了解唐人街不只是一個遊客地，它有著的豐富歷史。 例如，在Essex街首次建立電話交換站時，唐人街居民曾組織讓女性加入勞動力。 她還想讓人們知道，在舊金山華裔移民遷移到波士頓之前，這個社區有愛爾蘭、敘利亞、意大利移民的多樣化歷史。Alison對園藝、詩歌/寫作、繪畫、電影、音樂和互動藝術感興趣。
