I grew up in Lake Placid and started skiing at the age of 5. I started doing biathlon with air rifles at the age of 8, and competed in my first biathlon race, the International Children's Winter Games, in 2019. At 13, I joined the NYSEF Junior team and competed in both biathlon and nordic skiing all throughout high school. Currently, I am taking a post grad year to train with Maddie Phaneuf and the NYSEF Pro team as well as studying aviation in hopes to get my Private Pilots License this spring.

Outside of biathlon, Abigail enjoys biking, go-karting, photography, crocheting, spending time with friends and family.
