Autumn Harrington

Manager

ABOUT

Autumn was born and raised on Cape Cod, and grew up with a love for physical activities. Starting at the age of 6 (after only a few short years of attempted ballet classes) she turned her energy toward gymnastics. There, she found her passion for flips and balance beams, and spent the next 10+ years dedicating herself to the sport. She received her Bachelor of Science degree in Business from Bryant University and spent 3 years living and working in Boston, but now has returned home to the Cape to find her passion again.
