Abigail has been working with the Church of the Incarnation when she became a catechist in 2016. Since graduating from Gloucester Catholic High School in 2020, she knew she wanted to help children in their Catholic faith and she went to college with the hopes of being a teacher at a Catholic school. First, she wanted to be a high school choral teacher at a Catholic school, then switched majors to inclusive elementary education, wanting to teach third grade. And now she's here and is very excited to help children learn about our Faith and how to lead faith-filled lives. In her free time, she loves camping, home decorating, singing, and other performing arts.
