Hi! I’m Abby and I’m excited to scare my soul along side you.
I have a passion for dancing, biking, being outside and enjoying the world around us, celebrating who we authentically are and creating new experiences. I currently work in admissions at a private school for kids with learning disabilities and in my past life I was the director of a Jewish summer day camp.
Growing up, people would have described me as shy, kind, sweet and smart. For a long time, I was happy with this. I didn’t get into fights, I always followed directions and I kept quiet making sure not to stir conflict. Earlier this year a friend told me that she thinks of me as assertive. I had never heard that before and could barely even believe it. After years of community leadership, posting my insecurities on social media and becoming more mindful with who I have in my life, I had gotten to a point where the first describing word for me wasn’t sweet. And I was thankful. Thankful for my therapists who helped me work through the crap, thankful for my mentors who taught me that being perfect isn’t allowed, thankful for my family and friends who accepted the changes happening within me, and thankful for myself for leaping out of my comfort zone.
Sometimes I feel like I know who I am and what I want, and sometimes I feel like I’m growing right along side my students. But that’s the fun part, right?
Let’s figure it all out together as we scare our souls!
