Abby Watkins MA ’22

What area of practice are you interested in?
I hope to work in a pediatric outpatient clinic and potentially a Hippotherapy practice!

What are some of the occupations you engage in?
My favorite occupations are probably reading, spending time with my friends, listening to music, and, as simple as it is, sleeping.

If you could travel anywhere, where would it be?
This answer changes a lot for me, but right now I think I would say the Amalfi Coast.

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given?
The best piece of advice I have ever been given is actually incredibly simple, but my best friend always told me to “ride your ride” before I competed for my college’s equestrian team. Although I don’t compete anymore, I still think of it as a reminder to stay grounded in the moment and focused on the process so that no matter what the outcome is, it will be something that I’m proud of.
