Abby was one of the first teachers at Allen that I got close to. I really got to know her on a mission trip to Guatemala last summer. I then had the pleasure to have her again as a teacher in my fourth semester of nursing school. Abby is someone you want to be around because of the kindness and energy she exudes. I have seen, through her teaching, how passionate she is about nursing and nursing education. Teaching new skills to students is her strength. She is quick to help and patient when needed. I could always count on her and continue to do so. I have been so lucky to have her as a teacher, mentor, and guide.
