SOCIAL STRATEGY
Since July 2022, Abby has led the social media strategy for Friends of the High Line, the nonprofit that operates New York City's celebrated park in the sky. With an audience of 234k on Instagram and 214k on Facebook, Abby has stewarded a loyal online community of New Yorkers and global supporters.

Nothing more satisfying than a bit of Spring Cutback on the High Line. ...
