Abbey was born and raised in Southern California. She moved to Long Beach in 2012 and began her recovery with Atlantic Alano Club meetings in 2019. After retiring in 2018 from an exciting career as a scientist, she wanted to continue to be of service but also to live a life that included the more balanced development of mind, body, and spirit. Abbey is thrilled to offer her energy and any of her experience in service to the Club.
