Abigail J. Fallon

I am a freelance writer with a passion for mental health and wellness. I know firsthand what it's like to struggle with depression and loneliness, and I firmly believe that by exploring topics like these together, we become healthier and stronger as individuals. I have a B.A. in economics and a J.D. with an emphasis on public interest and criminal law. I worked as a lawyer for four years before becoming a freelance writer and staff writer at The Roots of Loneliness Project. When I’m not researching or writing, you can find me basking in my introverted-ness with a good book at home, getting out in nature, traveling, or playing with my dog Pepper.
