Director of Operations
Allison Mignard
Allison was a military child who grew up moving all around the country. Most of her upbringing was here on the Emerald Coast, which she has always referred to as her home. Growing up in a military family had instilled in her a strong sense of discipline, adaptability, and dedication to serving others.
Prior to joining AGM, Allison enhanced and developed her skills in engaging and developing a relationship with clients as a Peer Counselor in Oklahoma. When moving back to the Emerald Coast, Allison, became a General Manager, where she gained valuable experience in customer service, strong management skills, and high goal-setting. Her experience in customer service allowed her to develop a keen sense of overcoming objections.
Allison understands the importance of clear communication and attention to detail. She enjoys taking the time to understand each client’s unique needs and works closely with them to exceed all expectations.
In her free time Allison enjoys being “that mom” to her four wonderful children. She enjoys going to all sporting and academic events. She also instills a foundation with her children on giving back to the local community whenever possible. The entire family dedicates a lot of their time being involved in volunteer work or by working closely with local non profits.
