We love being a part of this community and I'm excited to serve on the Board and be a steward of HHCA's mission as it continues to grow."

Professional Experience
My last corporate role was as Executive Director of Operations for Kaplan Test Prep out of NYC. I oversaw the B2B operations of our Med, Nursing, and Bar divisions. I spent a few years working with smaller companies to help them grow operationally by process mapping, creating systems to measure/track data, and establishing dashboards and metrics for management. I completed my MBA in 2017. My husband and I are currently in the process of opening an independent bookshop in Old Town Bluffton. 

The Oliver Family
Allyn and her husband, Jamie, moved to the area a year and a half ago and they have 2 sons, Quinn (9th) and Zac (7th). Allyn and Jamie enjoy traveling and are currently on a mission to visit every NFL stadium. Allyn shared, "We are big football fans and we try to see at least one game per year and cheer on the home team. We've visited 19 stadiums so far so just over halfway there. It's a fun trip, usually for just the two of us, and takes us to cities we probably wouldn't visit otherwise." 

Surely your goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Psalm 23:6
