Allie’s career as a water woman began in 2014 on Big Island, Hawaii, working as an underwater videographer. Gaining hundreds of hours as a dive guide and photographer solidified her passion for marine wildlife conservation, photography and diving. Traveling and working internationally in the dive industry furthered Allie’s progression as a dive professional and sparked a deeper pursuit of Yoga and breathwork practices that could enhance her competitive freediving capabilities. In 2018, Allie achieved her Molchanov Freedive Instructor License and became a certified 200hr Yoga Hatha Instructor. Her experience teaching and leading freedive retreats led to the creation of Samudra, a platform dedicated to the holistic integration of Yoga, Breathwork and Freediving. Allie continues to hosts Samudra Courses & Retreats in the Caribbean and freelances as a marine wildlife guide/photographer.
