Abby was born and raised in Minnesota and moved out west in 2019 to attend Colorado State University where she studied Ecosystem Science and Sustainability. Her time in Fort Collins inspired her love for all thing outdoors. Whether it be hiking, camping, snowboarding, frolicking, or birdwatching- she’ll be there! Abby has been a field instructor with Teton Science Schools since January 2024 and looks forward to another year of connecting with participants. Her main goal is to create a positive learning atmosphere to inspire curious, excited, and optimistic environmental stewards. Beyond education, Abby is passionate about traveling and has had the privilege to travel to parts of Central America, South America, and Asia. She is also an enthusiastic birder and would be happy to chat all things birds on the trails!
