Abigail Rink

By the time she was in second grade, her skating brought her to the Colonial Figure Skating Club in Boxborough, MA in order to launch her training to a higher level.Over the next 15 years Abby trained with several Olympic coaches– including Mark Mitchell, Christopher Bowman, Peter Johansson, Linda Fratianne, Wendy Millette and more.Her on and off ice training also found her commuting even further to Cape Cod each summer to train with Olympic coaches Evy and Mary Scotvold. She competed along the east coast in freestyle at the elite level, excelling to the Eastern Sectional Championships while competing as a Novice Ladies Freestylist and runner up for the sectional competition as a Junior and Senior Gold Ladies Freestylist. Abby discontinued her training in order to attend the University of Vermont and pursue a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Food Science with a Sports Concentration as well as a Master’s degree in Exercise Science. She continued to enhance her passion of exercise and physiology by earning her Medical Exercise Specialist training certification as well a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the ACSM. Abby fell in love with Jackson in 2006 and has been here since, finding an enthusiasm for hiking, snowboarding, trail running, mountain biking, rock climbing and everything else this place has to offer.
