Abygail Durdella

Abygail Durdella, junior, has always had a passion for reading and creating stories in her writing from a young age, with a particular love for fantastical worlds in literature. Her favorite book series is Harry Potter, due to its wondrous world-building. In addition to being a part of the Humanities Pathway, Abygail also participates in Orange Lutheran’s theater tech program, enjoying how the many parts of the Nechita team make the narrative come together. She loves the arts, from literature to stage design to drawing, and how they can create what people can only dream of.
