Abigail joined the Fragile X world when her son, Mack, was diagnosed with Fragile X syndrome in July 2014, a few months before his second birthday. Today he is verbal, attends a mainstream preschool, and he just learned to ride a bike and swim — all accomplishments that seemed out of reach when he was first diagnosed. He is always the happiest kid in the room.

Currently, Abigail is the assistant dean of students at Tulane Law School. She also has experience as a director of student conduct, a litigation associate, and a law clerk in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. She is also the outreach coordinator for the New Orleans Special Olympics.
