My name is Abigail, but most people call me Abi. I\u2019m super stoked to be starting my first year as a Journalism major at Baruch and I can\u2019t wait to get to know you all more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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\u2019m 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\u2019s 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a week I\u2019ll spend most of my time at school now that we\u2019ve started the semester, but I also go to church a lot. I\u2019m 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\u2019d say He\u2019s the center of my life itself. I didn\u2019t 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\u2019d be able to do! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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\u2019m 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. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think that\u2019s all that comes to mind about me. I\u2019m incredibly grateful to be part of Macaulay at Baruch. I\u2019ve already met such unique and amazing people here. I look forward to spending the rest of the semester with you guys! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/tenneriello26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2026\/09\/IMG_0022-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12255\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.7500043338822917;width:432px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/tenneriello26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2026\/09\/IMG_0022-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/tenneriello26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2026\/09\/IMG_0022-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/tenneriello26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2026\/09\/IMG_0022-1152x1536.jpeg 1152w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/tenneriello26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2026\/09\/IMG_0022-1536x2048.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/tenneriello26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2026\/09\/IMG_0022-676x901.jpeg 676w, https:\/\/openlab.macaulay.cuny.edu\/tenneriello26\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/181\/2026\/09\/IMG_0022-scaled.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Here\u2019s a picture of my cat named Cuddles when she was just a little baby!
