Abigail is the dedicated Face the Fight Coalition Manager, driving a coalition of corporations, foundations, nonprofits, and government entities to advance impactful initiatives for veteran suicide prevention and the destigmatization of seeking help within the military and veteran communities. Abi has consistently delivered results, drawing from her extensive experience as Senior Program Coordinator at the Elizabeth Dole Foundation, where she played a crucial role in enhancing the foundation’s mission. She excelled in managing complex communication strategies with caregivers, overseeing the logistics of the Dole Caregiver Fellows program and Respite Relief program, and providing vital administrative support.
