Hi! My name is Abby Allen, and I am a junior recreational therapy major also working towards getting my certificate in Spanish. I am from Huntingdon Valley, PA which is just outside of Philadelphia so I was raised to love everything Philly. I chose Temple so that I could experience what it is like to live in a big city while still feeling like a part of a smaller community like Temple Honors. Outside of being an Honors Ambassador I am involved in the Recreational Therapy Student Association as the president and am a director for Kesem, which has given me the opportunity to help plan a summer camp to support children through their parent's cancer treatment. I am also a peer mentor for Temple's Institute on Disabilities which has allowed me to discover my passion for working with individuals with disabilities, and I work as a Resident Assistant in 1300, so if you have any questions about living in the dorms, feel free to reach out! If you want to chat with someone about what it's like to live in the city, how to get involved with the Institute on Disabilities, or want to know more about 1300, please contact me, I'd love to hear from you!
