Colleagues describe her as "It is my pleasure to recommend Abigail for roles in resettlement or in the nonprofit field. I worked with Abigail at Refugee Services of Texas during her time at the organization as the most senior Community Engagement Coordinator. She was excellent at training new staff and building them up, teaching them new skills and assuring their success at the organization. Not only that, she deeply cares about the work she does, and it is evident to anyone who works with her. Abigail’s hard work, determination, and passion are the reason why she was so successful in resettlement, and why her impact will be long felt by the families she has served. Abigail was able to handle multiple different roles, taking on the responsibilities of employees that left, all while still meeting reporting deadlines and maintaining important relationships, to assure the best outcome for her clients. Her quick and creative thinking is the reason why many refugee families were able to have groceries, diapers, sanitary products, etc. Abigail might have had the role of Community Engagement Coordinator, but regularly assisted the Pre-Arrival Coordinator, R&P Supervisor, and Housing coordinator to assure the best possible outcome for refugee families as they begin their lives here. She advocated for her clients tirelessly with partners to have volunteers, donations, cosponsors, and welcome teams. Working with Abigail was a pleasure. The skills she has acquired, and taught to others, in this role and through her background, make her a natural leader, she is highly organized and brings structure wherever she goes. Working as a Community Engagement Coordinator in refugee resettlement is a difficult position but, despite the chaos and all the hurdles thrown her way Abigail succeeded wonderfully. I highly recommend Abigail for any role, there is no doubt she would succeed and would be a great asset to any team. Best, Xochitl Huerta-Garcia Sr. Marketing Coordinator"
