A beachfront cottage.
Q. If you could take a trip anywhere in the world, where would you go? Why would you go there?
Explore more parts of Italy. My DiSabatino family roots are on the east coast of Italy, so I would love to go back and explore more of my heritage.
Q. Who is your personal hero?
My father, Ron Allen. My Dad was a high school football/basketball/lacrosse coach for over 32 years. I was able to be in the front row to watch him change the life of so many. I was also able to be one of those he coached. He taught me so many invaluable life lessons that I carry on to this day. It has been really amazing later in life to see him get awarded for all of the impact he has had on the community. He was recently inducted into the Delaware African American Hall of Fame.
Q: What is your favorite quote?
“Dreams are lovely. But they are just dreams. Fleeting, ephemeral, pretty. But dreams do not come true just because you dream them. It’s hard work that makes things happen. It's hard work that creates change.” -Shonda Rhimes
