Before coming to Samford, Abigail had the privilege of being homeschooled K-12th grade, including attending several co-ops and tutorials with teachers who instilled within her a love for learning. Being homeschooled allowed her to delve into and excel in subjects like Math and English, as well as unique opportunities like studying Russian at the Honors level. Throughout high school, Abigail also frequently led worship at her youth group and was greatly involved in theatre, with opportunities to work on both musicals and straight plays. A highlight of her high school career was competing in New York in the finals of the English Speaking Union’s National Shakespeare Competition. As a musical theatre major at Samford, she hopes to further hone her craft and eventually perform professionally.
