About

My name is Abby Sunday and I will be earning my B.S. in Sociology from Arizona State University in the Fall of 2021. I intend to apply for graduate school in efforts to earn a Masters of Education so I will have the qualifications necessary to advise, counsel and instruct at the post-secondary level. I have worked at a community college for almost 8 years and absolutely love inspiring and helping my students go beyond what they thought was possible. I am married with two children and am active in community involvement. I think life is best viewed from the positive side and try to find joy in every situation, no matter how hard it might be.

Outside the classroom

I absolutely love to sing and play music. I am involved at our church on the worship team and sing every chance I get. I also love to party plan and entertain. I am always making some craft for some event that is going to be fabulous. I love cooking, baking and wine tasting. My children are very busy, so anything that they are doing becomes a hobby. Mostly anything with a ball in my son's case. I am blessed to have a wide range of friends and I try to make time for each of them as the business of life allows. I also love any trip that involves a Costco and Cold Stone run!
