Abby initially acquired her passion for boating as a kid at summer camp. Over the years, the passion has only grown. First learning white water as a kayaker, she now primarily paddles in open boats.

In a boat, Abby can be found camping in the wilderness, racing, birdwatching or just finding solace. Additionally, she builds and restores wooden boats.

Abby is a Level 3 ACA Canoe Instructor, Maine Recreation Guide, Wilderness First Responder and Instructor Trainer for American Red Cross, Positive Coaching Alliance and USA Lacrosse.
