Ms. Abby

For over a decade, Ms. Abby has been expressing her creativity through coloring hair, styling nail art, and doing makeup. As a floor instructor, Abby enjoys sharing her knowledge with the students, knowing that they’re receiving a quality education that they can carry with them. The most rewarding part of her job is knowing that she can make a difference in her students’ lives.
