AUGUSTA, Ga. -- Kay Allen has been named Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance and Academic Services, according to an announcement Monday from Augusta State Director of Athletics Clint Bryant.

A native of Greenville, S.C., and an Augusta resident, Allen was raised in Augusta and attended Richmond Academy. She earned a B.S. in Neuroscience and Behavioral Biology from Emory University in Atlanta in 2002.

Allen previously served in the Office of Compliance and Enterprise Risk Management at MCG Health, Inc.
