Written by Abbigale Zepeda, CityHeART’s Art from Ashes Creative Intern
Hi! My name is Abbi and I am a fourth year journalism student in the Cal State Long Beach Honors program, and I am going to be an Art from Ashes intern here at CityHeART. I have wanted to be a writer in some capacity since elementary school – developing a love for storytelling that evolved from a passion for reading which was fostered and encouraged by my family and teachers. Since then my dedication to writing has evolved from short stories written in childhood diaries to a hopeful future in journalism where I can focus on sharing and connecting to the community in new and unique ways. Outside of school and journalism, in my free time I enjoy making beaded jewelry, listening to music, and reading.
