Name: Abigail Miskowiec
Hometown: Charleston, W.Va.
Abigail is serving as a member of the NCCC FEMA Corps team Spruce 5 at the Vinton Campus. After college she considered joining the Peace Corps but didn’t want to leave home for two years. She learned about AmeriCorps NCCC from some friends who worked with AmeriCorps VISTA and decided that NCCC FEMA Corps would be the perfect program for her.
Abigail graduated from Charleston Catholic High School in 2008 and New York University in May 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in journalism and conservatory acting. She is unsure of what she would like to do after her service term ends but might pursue a master’s degree in arts education in order to start her own theatre company.
Two summers ago Abigail had the opportunity to study in Athens, Greece for six weeks. It was her first trip outside of the United States and she had an amazing time. She says, “There are parts of yourself that will never manifest until you travel and I am hoping NCCC will expand my horizons even farther.”
