Hi, I'm Abby!

Welcome to August Point, I'm so excited that you're here! In case this is our first time meeting, here's a little about me.

I've been living somewhat of a double life for the past decade. I grew up with two main passions in life: food and fashion. When it came time to chose a career path, I went with fashion as it felt like the "safe" choice, given that the food space is still almost entirely male dominated.

My first job in high school was working in retail at a clothing store. I did that for four years and even earned the title of assistant store manager. Then, the following summer I had my first real internship in fashion merchandising, and I absolutely hated it. Once I realized that a career in the fashion industry might not be the right fit for me, I scrambled to come up with a Plan B for the rest of my life.

Fast forward a year, I was still unsure what I wanted to do with my life, but what I really needed was a job. So I accepted a job working in fashion, more specifically in Ad Sales and Marketing for Condé Nast. All the while knowing that the culinary school I had my eye on was located just across the street from their offices. Which led me to enrolling in night classes at said culinary school just a few months into my new job. Vogue assistant by day, culinary student by night. Sounds like the plot of a cheesy sitcom, I know.
