About Abby
After graduating with a BSAS at the University of Illinois Urbana – Champaign, Abby continued on with her M.Arch, also at U of I. Endlessly fascinated by architecture with a great enthusiasm to learn, she strives to be a part of the conversation that makes architecture a tool for social justice, a model for renewable and healthy materials, and an example for a sustainable future. She has focused her graduate education on public interest design and its intersection with environmental sustainability. Alongside her schoolwork, she is also a teaching assistant and the vice president of Root to Roof.
