COMMUNICATIONS
PROFESSIONAL
hello!
I'm Abby! (she/her)
I am a communications professional with a passion for connecting community through positive change.
​
I am an alumni of Mount Royal University where I received my Bachelor of Communications degree with a major in Journalism. In my career I freelanced and worked for a variety of start-ups and organizations responsible for content creation, design, marketing, event coordination, and brand creation/management.
​
Outside of my professional life, I am a pretty low-key, off-the-web kind of gal with interests in media and pop culture. My best day is out camping with great company.
Thank you for taking the time to dive into some of my work!​
