Abby was born and raised in Tacoma, Washington. She graduated from Saint Louis University with a major in Biology and minor in Health Care Ethics. She spent two years after college working as a scribe in adult and pediatric emergency departments and had a blast helping with youth ministry. Medical school brought her back to the Midwest to attend Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska where her interest in Global Health deepened. Pediatrics has been her passion since childhood, and she is excited to be a third-generation pediatrician.

Outside of medicine, Abby enjoys hiking, camping, skiing, baking, and traveling to visit family and friends.
