About our keynote speaker, Alison Levine

Alison Levine is no stranger to risk-taking. She has survived sub-zero temperatures, hurricane force winds, sudden avalanches, and a career on Wall Street. Surprisingly, Alison was born with a life-threatening heart-condition. 
Thirteen years after her initial diagnosis she had a surgery that changed her life--and climbing stairs soon gave way to climbing mountains. She has since climbed the highest peak on every continent, served as the team captain of the first American Women's Everest Expedition, and skied across the Arctic Circle. Alison's success in extreme environments is noteworthy given she suffers from a neurological disease  that causes the arteries that feed her fingers and toes to collapse in cold weather, leaving her at extreme risk for frostbite.
Alison currently serves as an adjunct professor at the United States Military Academy at West Point where she teaches in the Department of Behavioral Sciences & Leadership. She is also the founder of the Climb High Foundation, a nonprofit that trains jobless women in Uganda to work as trekking guides in their local mountains, and is the president of Daredevil Strategies.
