Abby grew up in Maine and developed a love of figure skating at the early age of 3. Her competitive skating career let her to skating clubs outside Boston, where she trained with several Olympic coaches. She competed at the Senior Gold level across the east coast until the age of 18. Abby then pursued a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition, with a Sports Concentration, at the University of Vermont. Following her undergraduate work, she remained at UVM to undertake a graduate teaching fellowship and started work on a Master of Education in Exercise Science. Upon completing her Masters, she moved to Dallas for an internship at the Cooper Institute, Human Performance Lab. Having the desire to explore the west and return to her love of nature, she drove to Jackson and fell in love with its western charm and active lifestyle. Since moving to Jackson in 2006, she's built a life and a family here and has returned to her skating roots, coaching figure skaters of all ages at the JH skating club. She enjoys applying her passion for health and wellbeing to all aspects of her life and her work.
