ABIGAIL CABRERA

Abby Cabrera is currently a junior at Saint Anthony’s high school. This year she was on her school’s Varsity A tennis team, took five ap courses and all honors, and participated in numerous clubs, including her school’s newspaper, the Paduan. In addition, she has taken AP Seminar, AP Research, and Saint Anthony’s Independent Science Research course, where she wrote eight research papers and learned many presentation skills and how to write academic research papers. She loves reading fantasy novels and her favorite authors are Rick Riordan and Victoria Aveyard. WJMC was a life-changing experience for her. The connections she made are still strong today, it’s made her look at life through a whole new lens, and she is so happy she gets to come back for the next group to experience what she did.
