Abigail was born and raised in Modesto. She graduated from UC Merced with her Bachelor's in Cellular Biology and a minor in Business and Finance. Throughout college she worked multiple jobs that helped her community and worked with a diverse group of people. She was initially set on going to medical school until she worked at Kaiser Permanente through an Internship and learned that she loved working with the youth. She currently works at a Non-Profit with college aged students and mentors them. Committed to helping the youth and community, she plans on eventually going back to school to get a Medical Degree where she can help her community further.
