A native child of the San Fernando Valley, Abigail loves rain, Ireland, and drinking tea (go figure). In 2014 she graduated with a BA in Communication from The Master’s College, and now in between church, family, and work she finds time to write, make short videos, play with her DSLR camera, and turn out handmade jewelry items. She kicked off her connection with RedFence in early 2013 when she worked as a copy editing intern, and now she enjoys contributing her own writing to the archives (though she still geeks out over dangling participles and hyphens masquerading as dashes).
Abigail has written 7 article(s) for RedFence Magazine.
