Abby is a professional dancer, singer, actor, mermaid, content creator, reader, and Taylor Swift fan originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where she trained at the award-winning dance studio A Step Above Dance Academy and the recently rebranded Stage Right! School for the Performing Arts. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in musical theatre, with a minor in dance, from Nazareth College in Rochester, New York, under the director- and mentorship of Corinne Aquilina. Abby has been lucky enough to work and perform with Broadway, regional, and international greats throughout her career thus far, such as Russall S. Beattie, Brett Smock, Michele Ragusa, George Dvorsky, Parker Esse, Robin Levine, and Jim Cooney, among others.

​

Most recently, Abby made her west coast debut in the original American cast of The Empire Strips Back: A Star Wars Burlesque Parody in San Francisco, California, at the historic Great Star Theatre, where she covered most of the numbers in the show as well as performed in her own featured and ensemble roles. (Maybe you saw some of her Empire TikToks on your For You Page, one of which got over one million views!) That same summer, Abby also wrote and produced her own solo show, ExMen: Not About Superheroes, pt. 2, at multiple fringe festivals across the western United States, where she serenaded and joked with audiences about her exes, featuring the music of Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Maisie Peters, and Olivia Rodrigo.

​

In 2020, Abby started her training and side hustle as a professional mermaid, at the very popular Myrtle Beach tourist destination Pirate's Table, under the mentorship of the TikTok famous Haley Mermaid, which helped her garner a following of over seventy thousand followers on TikTok. Abby continues her merjourney and training, studying to pursue her PADI freedive, mermaid, and open water certifications, and continues to produce her own well-loved mermaid content on social media. In 2021 and 2022, she was grateful to work with award-winning and world-renowned underwater photographer Justin Lutsky with Submerge Underwater on two photoshoots.
