Karin Abcarians

I graduated from California State University, Northridge with a BA in Journalism. I have been writing about entertainment, pop culture, sports and news for 7 years. When I first entered college, I wanted to be an English teacher. After a few semesters, I began writing for a few pop-culture-themed sites online. That was when my love of reporting began and I pursued a career in journalism. When I’m not reporting, I’m watching Lakers and Packers games, reading books, and napping with my dog Dexter.
