25 for 25―CELEBRATING ALISON PAYNE

25 years ago, Alison Payne walked through the doors of the Monkey Living Center for the first time as a full-time employee. The rest is history!

In the third grade, Alison decided that she would work with monkeys or apes someday. Throughout her education, she volunteered at pet clinics, an avian nursery, and Zoo New England, and has always loved learning more about different animals. At Boston University, where Alison received her bachelor’s degree, she focused her studies in cognitive and learning psychology and animal behavior. During her senior year, Alison began volunteering at Envisioning Access and was thrilled to begin a full-time job upon graduation. 

Today, as Director of Monkey Care, Alison oversees the health and well-being of each and every monkey in the Envisioning Access program. She considers the monkeys to be part of her family and strives to give them love and support. 

We appreciate your support as we honor the incomparable Alison Payne and the 25 years of dedication and love she has given to Envisioning Access.
