Hello, I am Coach Allen. I am a second-generation educator. I have a true passion for Arts and Multimedia. In my spare time, I use my photography skills to take freelance pictures. When called upon I also like to show off my DJ’ing skills by playing music for dances and parties. People often referred to me as the chick of all trades, because of my degrees I can also repair cars and build items from scratch.

Where did I get my background in all these things? First, I came to obtain my Associate Degree in Computer-Aided Drafting from ITT Institute in 2000. After exploring and soaring in my related field, I decided to pursue my real passion, which was teaching. Therefore, I decided to get my bachelor’s degree. Yes, there are hundreds of colleges and universities to choose from, but I chose to get my bachelor’s degree in Technical Management in 2009 from DeVry University. I chose DeVry because I liked the management aspect of the school. Even though I wanted to teach, on the side I also wanted to be able to run my own company. I later pursued a double Master’s in Project Management and Human Resource Management; because I wanted to make sure that I knew every aspect of my own business.

In my spare time, I still consult others in my degree fields. If you ever want to bounce ideas on any of my trades, just stop by room B2022 at Amon Carter Riverside High School and I will be happy to chat with you!
