A graduate of Anderson University (BA) and The Seattle School of Psychology and Theology (MA), Abby’s areas of study cover the fields of Psychology, Theology and Biblical Studies. Additionally, she holds certificates in Myers Briggs, CliftonStrengths, DiSC, the Church Assessment Tool, and EQi.

 For the first ten years her professional career, Abby worked in the context of Higher Education. From Resident Director to Assistant Dean of Students, she covered nearly every area of Student Development over that decade and loved every part of it. The next ten years Abby served as the Assessment Director for a consulting firm specializing in succession and search in the church and not-for-profit sector. This role included on-sight assessments, profile development, assessing candidates, and staff and team development.

 “At nineteen years of age and a freshmen in college, I was assigned the task of developing a vision statement for my life. A daunting task to be sure, but I still remember writing, ‘I want to help others come alive to who they are meant to be.’ Although I had no idea the road ahead, my guiding passion to come alongside others in an effort to help them uncover their sense of calling and purpose has been threaded through my life journey and undoubtedly will continue to be so.”

 Abby is a wife to Michael and mother to Harper, Everett and Leo. They are nestled into a wonderful community on the north side of Indianapolis where the cornfields still abound.
