Hi! I'm Brooklyn Abington and this is my third year teaching! I am originally from Tennessee! I received my undergrad and Masters from the University of Tennessee, Knoxville! Safe to say I am a HUGE Tennessee Fan! Something about me is that I am a part time florist, love taking care of my plants, and enjoy playing pickleball! I am thrilled and honored to have ended up at OP and I cannot wait to see what the future holds!

Both of my parents are retired teachers and my family enjoys going back up to Michigan and Ohio to visit in the summer. My husband David and I have two children, Evan and Emma. We enjoy traveling, watching sports, and spending time with family & friends. I am so grateful to be at OP and a part of this community!
