Allie Jablon was born and raised in Columbia, South Carolina. At the age of five, she began what would turn out to be an intense and successful gymnastics career. Over the course of nine years, Allie repeatedly competed not only as the state champion, but also as a force to be reckoned with both nationally and internationally. While she briefly trained with the world-renowned, Bela Karolyi, in the hopes of pursuing the Olympics, Allie ultimately decided that maintaining a balanced life at home with her family and friends was most important. Nevertheless, the discipline, drive and commitment from her rigorous training will forever be engrained in all of Allie’s pursuits.

At the University of Florida, Allie majored in finance and graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0 GPA. What makes this achievement most impressive is the fact that she was able to balance her academics with her demanding schedule as a Varsity Gator Cheerleader. After four years of traveling with and cheering for the National Championship Gators, Allie developed a deep passion for sports, particularly football and basketball. She remains a devoted fan, refusing to miss a single game (although no longer on the field).

After graduating #1 in her class of thousands, Allie pursued a career in finance, first with Arthur Andersen and then as a financial analyst at Royal Caribbean Cruises in Miami. Although she was quickly moving up the corporate ladder, Allie transitioned into a sales career to capitalize on her penchant for building relationships and her unparalleled sales ability. As a pharmaceutical sales specialist for Abbott Laboratories in Chicago, Allie’s energy and charisma were finally unleashed. Her spunk and personality opened many doors and helped to cultivate many successful business relationships. Simultaneously, Allie devoted her evenings to teaching the GMAT prep course, tutoring prospective business school students. As an instructor, Allie’s passion for both public speaking and advanced education were met.

Most recently, Allie continued her academic excellence at Harvard Business School, where she graduated with her MBA. Perhaps one of the best experiences of her life, Harvard sharpened Allie’s business acumen and elevated her problem-solving and communication skills to a new level. Coincidentally, her section at Harvard voted her “Most Likely to be Hired as Donald Trump’s Apprentice” – a superlative she received prior to applying for “The Apprentice.” Following business school, Allie returned to her passion for sales with a Fortune 500 medical device company.

While Allie currently resides in California, she will always remain a southerner at heart. She is an avid sports fan and actively trades in the stock market. Some of her interests include skiing, fitness, travel and boating.
