She continued on to obtain her Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from Chatham University in 2014. She chose early intervention because she loved working with young children during her 11 day field experience providing PT services to underserved children in Ecuador last summer and while volunteering at The Woodlands Foundation. Abby completed a clinical rotation with TEIS during her last semester of graduate school and has now joined the team as a full time certified PT. Her hobbies include travel, music and concerts, working out, and spending time with family and friends.
