It's Nice to Meet You!

My name is Abby and I believe that kindness and compassion, combined with action, is what will lead us on the path to social change. Whether it is inside the classroom or outside, I use my solutionary vision to help inspire both children and adults to be the next generation of changemakers. 

​I am certified in plant-based nutrition through the T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies and I’m currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Humane Education through Valparaiso University and The Institute for Humane Education. ​

As a humane educator and public speaker, you will often find me giving presentations around topics that include animal protection, human rights, environmental protection, plant-based eating, how to find joy in life, and ways to change the world, just to name a few. 

I currently reside in Ashland, Massachusetts with my husband and six-year-old son. When I’m not trying to save the world,  you may find me either gardening, writing to my pen pal in Germany or dancing down the street encouraging others to also live a life that’s filled with joy.
