She is also training Splash, a toy poodle, to become a therapy dog. Abby enjoys spending time with her family and friends, doing yoga, spending time outside, gardening, and cooking.

Abby was an aspiring Speech Pathologist when she underwent cervical spinal cord injury and surgery resulting in a breathy and weak voice that impacted her ability to speak and swallow. She was diagnosed with vocal cord paralysis, received vocal rehabilitation, and fully recovered. Since then, Abby has dedicated her studies and career to helping others in similar situations.
