1. Maureen Dabreo
Medical Assistant
Graduation: January 2012
Have you ever heard of the saying “room for success is unlimited?” Well that is true at the
Allen School. Being an Allen School student was the hope and encouragement I needed to
start a new career and further reach my dreams of working in the medical field. The entire
staff which includes the financial aid department, career services, and instructors were very
essential in molding me into a professional Medical Assistant student during my time at the
Allen School. Fortunately, the Allen School has the best instructors, who were caring and
willing to go the extra mile with each student that needed individual attention. Sometimes it
is difficult to complete an assignment on time while maintaining your family needs and even working, but with
the entire staff’s support, I was able to pull through.
At the Allen School, the Career Services Office also played an important role in what we call the key steps for
job preparation and “interviewing” was one of those steps. To be honest, they really reached out to me for
practice, because I never really had a professional interview before. If I must say…they did a truly excellent job
in finding me the best internship site which I am most pleased and excited to be interning at right now. I am
glad I chose the Allen School and will be honored to refer anyone without hope for a fresh start to attend the
Allen School and see the changes that can be made in their lives. I am really proud to say that I am an Allen
School student.
