My name is Abby and I live in South Philly. I'd describe myself as very calm and laid-back, definitely easy to get along with. I'm a young professional who has her life together, and I'm looking for the same.

Professionally, I'm the sous chef at a gastropub in Philadelphia. I take my job very seriously because I want to make a career of it. It consumes most of my time which I'm ok with, but this means I need to find someone who understands the long hours.

When I'm not working I'm out trying to be a normal 23 year old. I love trying new bars and restaurants or going out to see a show. I live in Philly and feel like I'm responsible for taking full advantage of what it has to offer.

I like to think I'm an excellent cook. I also draw extremely well, which is why I attempted a career in architecture before becoming a chef.

I usually get complimented on my smile and eyes.

I spend a lot of time thinking about my life, where it's going, and what I want out of it. I try to think about how my future will be, who will be in it, and what I'll be doing. It's fun to think about, and a little scary at the same time, but doing it helps me set goals and push myself.

Out with friends exploring new places in Philly.
