AboutAbout Me

My name is Abby Riley and I live in the

Cincinnati, Ohio area. I have three

children: Bekah (12), Bronson (9), and

Livvy (7). I have been married to my

husband Greg for 13 years. As a family,

we love spending time together going

to parks, sporting events, and

theatrical performances. I have a

creative mind and love using my

creativity to further the Kingdom of

God whether it is through Bible

journaling, teaching classes, or

working on creative writing projects.

What I’ve Done I have 18 years experience in Early

Childhood Education in preschools and

church ministries

I have graduated college with an

Associate of Science in Early Childhood

Education and a Interdisciplinary

Bachelor’s in Psychology and Christian

Counseling

Worked 15 years within non-profit

organizations

What I Do

God allowed me in the last couple

years to make a career change and

have been employed for American

Heritage Girls which is the premier

national character development

organization for young women that

embraces Christian values and

encourages family involvement. As a

current employee of AHG, I help

members build strong relationships

within their troops through biblical

principles. I also have a compassion

for serving missionaries within short

term mission trips so that they are

able to further their ministries.

Personal Qualities: Professional StrengthsMy professional strengths are my beliefs, responsibility, retrospective viewpoint, strive to learn and improve, and ability to see the capacity others hold within themselves to change, grow, and develop for the better.

• Belief: People especially talented in the Belief theme have certain core values that are unchanging. Out of these values emerges a defined purpose for their life.

• Responsibility: People especially talented in the Responsibility theme take psychological ownership of what they say they will do. They are committed to stable values such as honesty and loyalty.

• Connectedness: People especially talented in the Connectedness theme have faith in the links between all things. They believe there are few coincidences and that almost every event has a reason.

• Learner: People especially talented in the Learner theme have a great desire to learn and want to continuously improve. In particular, the process of learning, rather than the outcome, excites them.

• Input: People especially talented in the Input theme have a need to collect and archive. They may collect information, ideas, history, or even relationships.

Personal Qualities: Personal StrengthsI have enduring principles in which I live by, and also work hard to keep my promises and honor commitments made. I strive to understand the history of a given situation in order to link where a situation has come from and where it may be leading. I am constantly striving to learn and improve in order to fulfil my passion to encourage and enable others to learn, grow and improve.

Areas of Study SynthesisI selected my areas of study purposefully according to my strengths, weaknesses, and passions in life. In doing so, I have chosen to study Psychology and Christian Counseling. God has placed within me a desire to help people and compassion to meet their visible needs in order to meet their spiritual needs.

Psychology:

Gives an understanding of what components of life bring meaning to what being human is through one’s attitudes and behavior

Christian Counseling:

Has provided a way to help others find contentment in their physical, mental, and emotional needs, has provided knowledge on how to assist in character growth by knowing "what ought to be" and the purpose for which God created each individual with an identity in Christ
