New Zealand

Creative Arts

Hey all! My name is Abby, I’m 21 years old, and I’m from Auckland New Zealand.

I graduated from Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University of Wellington at the end of 2024, completing my Bachelor of Arts majoring in psychology, and minoring in media studies. During my three years at university, I also completed other papers such as NZSL, digital design, and educational psychology. I loved expanding my knowledge over many topics!

This is not only my first year at Adirondack, but it is my first summer away from home! I’m looking forward to skipping New Zealand winter and joining the ADK crew for an amazing summer! I’m most excited for making new friends and creating great memories. In my spare time, you’ll find me at my desk creating something. Bullet journalling, origami, clay sculpting, scrapbooking, painting… you name it, I’ve tried it! For this reason, I’m happy to say I am joining the creative arts team! I hope to share my love for arts and crafts with everyone and help inspire some incredible creations!

A fun fact about me is that I was a dancer from age 5-18, spending all my free time in the studio. I even competed around New Zealand in a hip hop duo, winning the occasional competition!

I am so excited to join this wonderful team and meet you all! See you soon!
