Abby was born and raised in Fort Myers, Florida. She attended Milligan College in Johnson City, Tennessee and stayed there after graduating in 2015. She said, "AmeriCorps VISTA spoke to me because I have a passion for helping people in my community and am passionate about public health issues. I am incredibly excited to start and am thankful for the amazing opportunity."
