Abe graduated from McGill University having earned a BA in History with minor focuses in Linguistics and World Religions. Several key experiences have augmented his innate passion for history, with studying medieval archived documents at the Université de Strasbourg in France and working at the USS Constitution Museum chief among them. Additionally, Abe has worked with the public as an educator on topics ranging from environmental science and natural history to French language exchange and film history, and this experience reflects some of the personal interests he brings to research services. Abe is excited to help members continue making discoveries of their own by continuing their research projects, having recently met long-separated family members by dint of his own family history research.
