Hey everyone! My name is Abigail, but most people call me Abi. I’m super stoked to be starting my first year as a Journalism major at Baruch and I can’t wait to get to know you all more.
I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. I love this city and its diverse people, cultures, and cuisine. A few things I like to do for fun is going on walks, photography, and playing instruments. I play piano and guitar. I also enjoy reading and writing. I’m not great at math or science, so choosing my major was a process of elimination. I want to pursue a field of study that is challenging, yet still enables me to embrace the passion and skills I already have. There’s always more to learn and ways to strengthen these skills. What I love about Journalism is storytelling. I want to be a listener and bring stories that are often overlooked to light.
In a week I’ll spend most of my time at school now that we’ve started the semester, but I also go to church a lot. I’m there on Tuesday evenings for prayer night, Fridays for young adult group, and Sundays for church service. Jesus is a huge part of my life, in fact I’d say He’s the center of my life itself. I didn’t grow up in any religion, but in 2020, I became more curious about God and later decided that I believed in the Gospel. That decision changed my life. It was a decision that no one could make for me. I took the first step, and since then, God has allowed me to do things I never thought I’d be able to do!
I also enjoy spending time with my family. My parents split when I was 5, but I still get to spend time with both sides. Me and my mom live in Brooklyn whereas my dad lives in Queens. Both the environments and my parents are very different, but I love it. I have two younger brothers named Liam and Dani, and they are the smartest kids I know. I see them on weekends when I’m free. With my family we love to go out and eat, travel to different parts of the city or go upstate, and have meaningful conversations.
I think that’s all that comes to mind about me. I’m incredibly grateful to be part of Macaulay at Baruch. I’ve already met such unique and amazing people here. I look forward to spending the rest of the semester with you guys!
