A graduate of the Indiana University Jacobs School of Music, Abigail performed regularly with the university's orchestras and other ensembles while maintaining an active gig schedule and competing in area instrumental competitions. In 2015, she received an Honorable Mention in the US Army Band “Pershing’s Own” Young Artist Competition, earning the privilege of performing alongside the US Army Orchestra and fellow competitors. She was a member of the Maryland Classic Youth Orchestra’s Philharmonic Orchestra and harp ensemble during her junior and senior years of high school and won second place in the Young Artist Division of the Mid-Atlantic Regional Harp Competition in 2014.
