Ally has earned 99th-percentile scores on the GMAT, LSAT, ACT, and SAT. After growing up in Florida and South Dakota, she was ready for a milder climate and attended Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, where she graduated summa cum laude with degrees in history and English. After taking the LSAT during college, Allison briefly considered attending law school, but instead followed her heart to become a public school teacher. Nine years and one master’s degree later, Ally was ready for a change. She recently moved to the San Francisco Bay Area and now works exclusively for Manhattan Prep. She’s been with the company for eight years and serves as an instructor manager and curriculum developer in addition to teaching and tutoring. In her free time, Ally loves to hike, kayak, rock climb, and travel.
