About Abby

Developing others and helping inspire leaders and drive organizational impact is my passion, and it is the thread that has pulled me through my life and career. As the oldest sibling and a life-long athlete, working together to reach common goals has been engrained in me from an early age, and I knew that I was meant to make an impact on others in a professional capacity has well.  

​

While my career has taken me in a few different directions over the years, developing others in their careers has remained the theme. I began my professional life working as a recruiter and in staffing sales where I advised both individuals and organizations in career transitions, employment opportunities, and succession planning. As a leader of teams and a career advisor, I learned how to guide people to lean on their strengths and take risks to find their potential. I also found that working in both recruiting and staffing sales provided me with a unique experience to understand various industries and the experiences of executive leaders. 

  

After deciding to transition away from sales after several years, I became a Learning & Development Manager and also went on to obtain my Master's Degree in Learning and Organizational Change and my Organizational and Leadership Coaching Certificate from Northwestern University. As a L&D leader, I created opportunities for exploration and growth across various leadership skillsets, sales enablement and customer relationships, and inclusion & diversity programs, and guided colleagues on their journey of professional exploration. Developing training programs has provided incredible insight into what people need, how they learn, and how they develop professionally.

​

In my career and in my life I have experienced tremendous successes, and disappointing setbacks. I've made mistakes and experienced my fair share of trials and tribulations, but I have always come back to the importance of people in everything we do, and strive to continue to make individuals the core of what makes things possible.

 

I believe we all have opportunities for growth, and it's critical to understand and articulate our personal visions in order to move forward in our personal and professional development. I look forward to partnering with and guiding leaders to help them reach their full potential - whatever that may be.
