Allison Ochiltree was born in Fort Lee, NJ, and raised in Rockland County, NY. Allison was an active member of Beth Am Temple in Pearl River, and enhanced her Jewish Education by attending NFTY Events, attending NJY Summer camp, and being youth board president at Beth Am. With a degree in arts management and grant writing from SUNY Purchase, Allison has traveled to most of the States, working on various theater, film and television productions for Discovery, TLC, Saturday Night Live, among others.  After almost 2 decades in the film and television industry, Allison felt it was time to become a larger part of the local area, and was thrilled to find an opportunity to the Ner Tamid Religious School Team and community in February 2024. Allison has loved getting to know the wide dynamic members of Ner Tamid.  Allison currently lives in Bloomfield (such a nice commute to work!) with her husband, 5 year old son and three cats!
