I am from Pascagoula, MS.  I received a Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Mississippi.  Twenty years ago, I went back and received my teaching certificate from William Carey.  I taught fourth and fifth grade for four years and then went back to Ole Miss and received my gifted endorsement in 2006.  I am currently in my seventeenth year of teaching sixth grade gifted children.  

I am married to Stuart Allen and have two grown sons.  I enjoy mission work, spending time with family and friends, reading, and cheering on the Ole Miss Rebels!  Hotty Toddy!
