Christina Abdishoo, Class of 2022, blends science with music as a member of STEM Academy and a two-instrument musician.
Christina came to OLu from Hephatha Lutheran, where she began her musical career playing in their music program. Her first exposure to the Performing Arts at OLu came in 2016, when OLu's "Belle" from its production of Beauty and the Beast came to visit her school.

In addition to her work on the stage and in the classroom, she is a member of the STEM Academy (note: Academies will be known as Deeper Learning Pathways beginning in Fall 2022). She will be pursuing pre-med at UCLA after she graduates.
