FIG Assistant: Abigail

Hi! My name is Abby, my pronouns are she/her, and I am the FA for Carnegie Global Oregon (CGO). I am a third-year Humanities Major with a Minor in Digital Humanities and Sociology.  I am from Sunnyvale, California, and am a huge hockey fan. Go Sharks! In my free time, I love to solve puzzles (brain teasers, sudoku, real physical puzzles, you name it), binge-watch TV shows (usually rewatching sitcoms, but I have recently been getting into The Mentalist), listening to music, and try new places around campus! I truly love going to the University of Oregon, and I can’t wait to share all it has to offer with you! Choosing to be in CGO has been one of the best decisions I made at UO. Here I have found my closest friends and a space to express and develop my own thoughts and ideas. I am really excited to be your FA! Please let me know if you have any questions, and feel free to reach out! See you this fall!
