Marilyn Upson graduated from the Allen School in 1984 with a certificate in Medical Office Assistant. She worked as a Dental Receptionist until 1994 when she changed careers to become a Research Assistant in finance. After 18 years, her job in finance was eliminated, allowing her to return to her passion of healthcare by enrolling in Medical Insurance Billing and Coding at Allen School. As a previous graduate, she knows the teachers ensure students achieve their goals and is looking forward to restarting her career in healthcare and becoming a two time Allen School alumna.

1. I attended the Allen School and graduated in 1984 with a certificate in Medical
Office Assistant. I worked as a Dental Receptionist from 1984 to 1994. I then
took my career in a new direction and changed career paths as a Research
Assistant in the Financial Field. It was a great job but my heart was not in it.
When my job in the financial field was eliminated, after 18 years, I felt that it
was truly a blessing.
Now I can restart my career and do what I love and have a passion for — help-
ing people in the healthcare field.
I know the reputation of the Allen School because I attended years ago, so I
applied and was accepted! I am now in classes for Medical Insurance Billing
and Coding!
I know the teachers and faculty are compassionate and outstanding. They en-
sure you achieve your goals. I love working with people and have the motiva-
tion, dedication and desire to be a great student.
I look forward to this career change and cannot wait to become a 2 time Allen
School Alumni.
