About Allen

Background

I spent most of my childhood and teenage years in Forsyth County, GA, where I first discovered my love for both analysis and tutoring in high school. After graduating, I moved to Athens, GA to pursue a B.S. in Statistics at the University of Georgia, which I received in 2020. I proceeded straight into a graduate program in 2021, where I am now working on obtaining my M.A. in Educational Psychology with a Quantitative Methodology specialization.

Currently, you can find me in back in Forsyth County, finishing my thesis while tutoring and consulting on the side. I have plans to defend my thesis and graduate with the master’s this semester (Fall 2024).
