My name is Abby, I am 26 years old, and I am the founder of Sunflowers Against Sexual Assault (SASA). I am currently pursuing my Bachelors of Science in Public Health at Oregon State University with the hopes of using epidemiology practices and concepts to study and prevent violence in communities. I am certified to be a volunteer crisis advocate for victims of sexual violence in Georgia, and I work with survivors on a weekly basis on crisis hotlines. Since founding SASA in 2017, I have been able to share my own story to thousands, partner with rape crisis centers and child advocacy centers, and empower other survivors of violence. 

In my spare time, I love going to Broadway musicals, playing board games, and cuddling up with my cats, Gravy Boat and Sausage Biscuit.
