Always on the move, Ally Hord lived in Texas, Connecticut and Florida, before attending Northwestern University in Chicago to study TV/Film and Psychology. After college, Ally worked in reality TV production in New York City, and on the Zune/Xbox teams at Microsoft in Seattle. Random, right? But she still had more major metropolitan areas to conquer. In January of '08, she moved to LA to pursue writing, stupidly during the writers strike. So to stay involved, she started volunteering locally and fortuitously met the Give Back crew. They've been together ever since!
