Abby is currently helping Dr. Bindu Panikkar with research looking into the recognition process for Indigenous tribes in Vermont, energy sovereignty in Alaska, and carbon capture technologies in Iceland. She is also apart of UVM's Socially Responsible Investing Advisory Committee. In her free time, Abby can be found in the Rubenstein Student Advisory Board office, skiing, hiking, walking around Burlington, tending to her house plants, or playing with her one-year-old cat, Bronco.
