Three things have shaped Abby Rowe into the person she is today â potatoes, gymnastics and Spanish. A seemingly unlikely combination, but those three things all take passion, dedication and hard work â key components of Roweâs personality.
Rowe grew up on her familyâs 2,500-acre farm in American Falls so sheâs no stranger to hard work. Her dedication to gymnastics spanned 15 years and culminated in medals at world championships. And her passion for Spanish came from her mother, an immigrant from Mexico.
Her passion, dedication and hard work also led to her degree path at the University of Idaho. Rowe graduated Saturday with bachelorâs degrees in horticulture and urban agriculture, international studies and Spanish.
