Two Wiltonians Featured on Forbes 30 Under 30

Two Wilton women were featured on the 2016 Forbes 30 under 30 list.

Taylor Feehley, 26, an immunology researcher and PhD candidate at the University of Chicago was featured in the list’s science section. According to Forbes, Feehley’s work has led to the development of potential new probiotics that would allow infants allergic to milk to drink it safely.

The News Times reports Feehley graduated from the Wilton Public School system. Being included in the list was a surprise for Feehley, who received an email letting her know she was nominated in October but did not know she was included in the list till the day it was released. “It was a great surprise to start the new year,” the paper quoted her as saying.

Abby Elliott, 28, another Wilton native was featured in the list’s “Hollywood and Entertainment” section. According to Forbes, since leaving SNL in 2012, Elliott has landed a main part on Bravo’s “Odd Mom Out.”

Elliott attended Immaculate High School in Danbury. The school acknowledged her achievement on their Facebook page.
