关于艾伦·米勒

I’m 艾伦米勒, a math instructor here at NLC.  I grew up in Albuquerque, NM, and wanted to study music in college.  After researching universities near me with music schools, I chose Texas Tech University in Lubbock (Goin’ Band from Raiderland, 一级乐队(小号军衔).  I was a music theory and composition major for a semester before changing to electrical engineering.  Once in engineering classes, I was far more interested in the “why” and “how” behind the engineering—the mathematics.  I changed to applied mathematics as my major, 毕业后, I stayed at Tech for graduate school.  It was as a graduate student, teaching for the first time, that I learned how challenging and rewarding teaching can be. I earned a master of science degree in mathematics in 2000. 

拥有硕士学位, I applied for a teaching position at South Plains 大学 in Levelland, 就在拉伯克西边.  I was there for eight years before moving to 圣安东尼奥.  I worked at NEISD for one year as a math teacher, then at Texas State University in San Marcos for one year as a lecturer.  I was an adjunct instructor here at NLC, then earned a full-time position in 2010.  

I live in the Schertz-Cibolo area with my wife and two of our three teenage children—the oldest moved to Bloomington, IN to study at Indiana University.  We have plenty of dogs and cats to keep the Roomba very busy.
