Abby Silverman is a junior at BSM on the varsity soccer team, and yes, it’s true, she broke her nose last summer and started the season wearing a facemask. Whether binge-watching Love Island, attempting and failing a 360 wake surfing, or solving the murder in the board game Clue, Abby has a smile on her face and a phone in her hand. Her two brothers consider her an expert baker, though she has only made boxed brownies and chocolate chip cookies for them at 2 a.m. Don’t be surprised to hear her in the hallways making plans two weeks in advance or showing up late to class because she can’t figure out her locker combination. The number of skirts she owns is still unknown, but they definitely all meet the BSM dress code.
