Abbie Oh Arroyo

Abbie deserves an Academy Award for Best Directing. Whether she was tasked with student government responsibilities or creating conversations for diverse voices at Webb, Abbie directed it all during the pandemic. As busy as she is as the VWS all-student president and member of the Empowering Student Voices Initiative, Abbie still has time to work in theater tech and worry about “Attack on Titan” cliffhangers. Neither dropping a stage light nor witnessing a hole punched into a hotel wall would disrupt Abbie’s hard work, though those events may leave her laughing uncontrollably. Her love of sharing untold stories through film and her dedication to Webb’s diverse community has led her to study Film and Political Science at Scripps College in Claremont, CA. As a biracial, queer woman of color, Abbie looks forward to advocating for representation in media and reforming education in schools. Tune in with Abbie in five years when she leads political conversations or directs film sets for her own movies.
