Jetta Allen

Jetta Allen is a military spouse, community advocate, writer, and founder of STRIDE for Student Success, where she empowers military-connected families through education and disability rights advocacy, with a focus on DoD schools, special education, and navigating educational systems. Her work is dedicated to helping families access the resources, information, and support they need to thrive wherever military life takes them.

Living in South Korea has deepened Jetta's appreciation for Korean culture, travel, and the connections that strengthen military and local communities. Through her writing for South of Seoul, she shares destinations, cultural experiences, local businesses, and hidden gems that enhance quality of life for military families stationed on the peninsula.

Whether she's exploring places like Igin, advocating for military-connected students, or encouraging others to step outside the installation gates, Jetta believes that strong communities are built through connection, curiosity, and a willingness to embrace new experiences.
