Abby Wilt
Multimedia Journalist
About Me
I am a senior at Pepperdine University studying Journalism and MultiMedia Design. I have been active in student journalism for the past seven years, and am currently the executive editor for Pepperdine Graphic Media, anchor for NewsWaves 32 and a designer for Currents Magazine. I am also an intern at NBC LA for the academic year. Through my experience, I have learned that I thrive on tight deadlines, as well as seeing a pitched idea through to publication. I have a strong attention to detail and am energized by the fast pace of breaking news.
