Bio

Abby resigned from a high-tech executive post in 2014 to expand her advocacy work and pursue a career as a writer. Today, she's an international bestselling novelist (I LIKED MY LIFE, St. Martin's Press) and the co-founder of Empower Her Network, an organization that addresses a national gap in services by collaborating with trafficking survivors on a path to fiscal independence. When she isn't working or watching the comedy show that is her children, she's reading, hiking, or hanging out with an interesting human over a glass of wine.

I'm passionate about

Motherhood. Ending modern day slavery. Writing real. Connecting with people who expand my purview of the human experience. Reading. Showing up every single day.

An idea worth spreading

Economic solutions that lead to fiscal independence are the most effectual way to break intergenerational poverty and exploitation cycles within marginalized populations.

Areas of expertise
