Recognizable from her on-camera work on Better Mornings, Corinna Allen is as equally vivacious behind the camera as she is in front of it. Allen lived in nearly a dozen cities before calling Atlanta home. Driven to succeed, Allen was candid about the trials of making it in the business. “I, by far, believe I made it this far based on persistence,” she says. “It’s not easy to move 10 times and to say goodbye to people over and over again–to make it to where I did wasn’t easy.” Despite many tribulations, Allen loves her job. “I get to do something different every day, and I meet fascinating people and get to help them tell their stories,” she says. Allen’s career certainly has taken her to new heights, whether it’s bungee jumping, flying in a fighter plane or crashing a hot air balloon. Allen also advocates using television “for a purpose” by helping those in need. Off camera, she shares the same sentiments–volunteering her time to support young women’s issues and leading by example for young women so they “live life based on choice and not circumstance.” Allen says her favorite thing to do is socialize in people’s homes, and she loves to cook. “I’m the happiest when there are a ton of people around my table,” she says. When it comes to the kind of man she is looking for, Allen puts it in her own terms: “There is a fuzzy and a techie. In my business, everyone is a fuzzy. I need a techie.”
