Since 2017, Abby has served as director of communications for medical education at Yale School of Medicine. Prior to this role, she was special assistant to the dean at Yale School of Management (six years) and director of alumni affairs at Yale Law School (four-and-a-half years). Before returning to Yale, where Abby attended college and law school, she spent two years clerking for judges and eleven years as a federal government lawyer, predominantly focused on firearms and explosives law and policy. Abby served as the alder for Ward 7 in New Haven for six years, and continues to be an advocate for traffic safety issues. She cares deeply about education and the environment, and so is excited to serve on the Board of Common Ground.
