PfaP Portrait

I’m Abby Gordon, a senior at North Carolina State University with a major in Psychology and a minor in Criminology. I plan to continue my education in Graduate school and expand my knowledge upon graduating with my undergraduate degree this Spring. With that, I plan to become a Counselor with a specialization in trauma and eventually a Trauma Psychologist. I always knew that in whatever career I may pursue, I wanted to be able to help people and make a difference in others’ lives. With these values in mind, once I learned about Pack for a Purpose through my advisor in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, I immediately knew that I wanted to be a part of this amazing organization.PfaP Portrait

During my time at NC State, I have seen what a difference can be made by simply advocating for a cause and that is what I hope to do for Pack for a Purpose. I have many friends that are frequent travelers and I made sure to spread the word about what a Big Impact can be made just by saving extra room in your luggage. I personally have never had the opportunity to travel abroad but since learning and working so closely with the amazing initiative that is Pack for a Purpose, I can confidently say that I will always be Packing for a Purpose on any of my future travel endeavors.

In my time thus far as Rebecca’s intern, I have had the opportunity to learn so much about the different communities of all the destinations on the Pack for a Purpose website. I have enjoyed being able to communicate with both participants and travelers and provide any assistance to ensure their meaningful travel goes most smoothly. I have also been creating content for our social media platforms, as well as uploading new participants on our website as we continue to expand our outreach.PfaP Portrait

In my free time, I enjoy baking, reading, working out, and spending quality time with my family, friends, and pets. I love the art of dance, as well, which I have practiced for over eleven years now.

Volunteer work has also always been important to me as I grew up participating in countless fundraisers and volunteer opportunities either through my dance company or my mom’s profession as a nurse.
