Abigail is currently a J.D. candidate at Yale Law School. After completing her LLM in housing law and human rights at the University of Galway, Abigail spent a year as a housing fellow at the Alaska Municipal League working to address the unique housing challenges faced by Alaska communities, most of whom have fewer than 1000 residents, are located off the road system, and subject to extreme environmental conditions. Prior to her Mitchell year, she graduated from Brown University with degrees in Public Policy and American Studies. She served as Co-Director of Housing Opportunities for People Everywhere (HOPE), a student-run housing justice organization that works to provide for the immediate needs of the unhoused community in Rhode Island, while fighting to dismantle the structural causes of housing insecurity and homelessness. A central effort she spearheaded was a state-wide public outreach effort, in partnership with the Rhode Island Center for Justice, to inform tenants of their rights under the CDC eviction moratorium. During a summer internship at the National Low Income Housing Coalition in Washington, Abigail built and maintained a public index of state-level emergency eviction protections issued due to COVID-19. Abigail is a nationally certified EMT and worked a weekly, 12-hour shift at Brown. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, that care extended to students quarantined across the 3 dormitories Brown maintained for isolation housing. Abigail is always looking for new and creative ways to show up for her community and support the public interest.
