Abby is a second-year Television, Photography, and Digital Media major with a minor in Advertising, Public Relations, and Marketing Communications. She has loved exploring everything Ithaca has to offer, and during the 2025-2026 academic year, she got involved in various corners of the Park School. She was involved with five ICTV shows as a social media manager and BTS photographer, worked with the video, photo, and social media teams for The Ithacan, hosted two radio shows with WICB, assisted as a BTS photographer and gaffer on film sets, and served as the secretary of Her Campus. This year, she is excited to continue her work with The Ithacan, ICTV, and WICB, as well as photo and video work with Creative Media and Ithaca Athletics. Her individual service work led her to several different community organizations that support women in need, where she organized a drive and donated bras and menstrual hygiene products. She will continue that work this year with the Women’s Opportunity Center of Ithaca. She will continue to volunteer at Finger Lakes ReUse to help keep trash out of landfills, give a second life to donated items, and provide support to the community. Abby is excited to keep gaining the skills necessary to use media to bridge cultural gaps and promote productive dialogue in an age of polarization. She is so grateful for this opportunity to explore the possibilities in emerging media and learn from such talented peers.
