Hi, I’m Abbey.
A LITTLE ABOUT ME
My first week at my first post-grad job, I interviewed the Jonas Brothers. Cool! But, like, I didn’t know how to interview a celebrity. So also, scary! But I did it (and they were nice), and the next time I had an A-list interview on my calendar, I wasn’t as scared.
Over the next decade (plus) of working in digital media, saying “yes” to new challenges and learning while doing would become hallmarks of my career.
Most recently, I worked as editor-in-chief at Well+Good, a health- and wellness-focused brand that reaches over 20 million people across its platforms each month. In my six years at Well+Good, I had the privilege of exploring the ways culture, politics, and your environment impact your well-being, and I was able to learn the power of service journalism. (Creating content that helps people is super fulfilling—go figure.)
Past roles working at publications dedicated to science, history, pop culture, celebrity, and the arts taught me how to fact-check, distill complicated topics into easy-to-digest explanations, and show the ways cultural movements and news events impact you and your community.

I grew up on Martha’s Vineyard and moved to New York City in 2006 to attend Barnard College. I now live in Brooklyn with my husband and dog.
