Gaby became an educator to create safe and engaging spaces for students to explore the world. Having lived in three countries and various states, Gaby believes exposure to cultural similarities and differences builds empathy. She knows our future leaders need to start building a global perspective at a young age.

She earned a M.S. in World Language and ESOL education at The University of Tennessee. After graduating, Gaby taught Dual Language Immersion in Spanish and ESOL for 5 years.
