She works closely with the Portland-based grassroots group Free Hot Soup which provides food and life saving supplies to people living on the streets.

In her free time, Abby gets into the great outdoors of her now home state of Oregon as often as possible and has recently begun a rather fervent weaving hobby that has over taken a large portion of both her time and living room.
