Abi is an Atlanta-based lifestyle writer for Romper, reporting on children's books, fertility, pregnancy, labor, breastfeeding, parenting and pop-culture. She’s been a freelance writer and editor for 11 years, with her byline appearing in Parade, Baby Chick, Creative Loafing, Atomic Family Magazine, and the parenting section on the Maisonette website — a boutique clothing and decor store for kids.
When she isn’t writing or copy editing, Abi loves being a mom to her 4-year-old son Jack, chugging coffee, cooking healthy meals, working out, and spending time at home with the rest of her family — a husband, two cats, and two beagles — whom she lovingly refers to as "The Funny Farm."
