Hello, I’m Abigail
For over 20 years, I’ve been a bridge—connecting people, ideas, and languages to help organizations tell their sustainability stories with impact. My background as a translator and journalist taught me the power of clear, honest communication, and I bring that same rigor and empathy to every report project I work on.
I was born and bred in northern England and graduated with a Master’s in Translation and Interpreting in 2001. After my stint as a journalist and translator in Germany’s Black Forest region, I moved across the pond in 2005 and have since made my home in the U.S. Midwest. On weekends, I can be found making ceramics (let’s be honest, with varying success), running 5k races just for the t-shirt, or hiking local forests with my family and our rescue dog, Lucky.
