Meet the Team

Founder
Allison Tan
Hey there! Born and raised in Dallas, Texas, I attended Garland High School for my freshman year of high school then transferred to the Texas Academy of Mathematics and Science (TAMS) program at the University of North Texas (UNT). I graduated from TAMS with the Class of 2020 and continued my undergrad at UNT. I graduated in 2023 with a B.A. in Biology and B.A. in Chemistry with a minor in Business. I have been working as a non-invasive cardiology tech at Methodist Hospital in Richardson for over 3 years. I also conduct research at UT Southwestern focused on neurology and musculoskeletal movement. If I’m not studying or hanging out with my family, I enjoy playing and watching sports, singing and songwriting, and any outdoor activities like fishing or hiking.

Hello, I'm Eric Roach II, an aspiring medical professional and recent summa cum laude graduate from the University of North Texas. During my time at UNT, I actively participated in multiple organizations dedicated to fostering positive communities within the university and making a meaningful impact on the surrounding community, including the Medically Dedicated Students Organization and the Black Student Union. Alongside my academic pursuits, I have a passion for solving puzzles of all kinds—word, logic, jigsaw, riddles, escape rooms, brain teasers, and more and I'm always eager to explore new experiences and interests in my spare time.
