HELLO, IM GABRIELA


I thrive the most at the intersection of strategy and execution—taking programs, fellowships, retreats, and summits from deep ideation to launch. I now add the most value when I am designing environments where knowledge culture and resources can flow without friction.

ABOUT ME


Over the years, I’ve honed my upbringing in the DIY arts and culture scene with traditional event planning. I now combine this hybrid background in creative curation and operational precision to lead full-lifecycle, deeply intentional experiences and build ecosystems of belonging.


At my core, I’m driven by creating value through bridge building, placing the right people in spaces together, connecting ideas, and resources without ever compromising my integrity or character. Whether it be professional or personal endeavor, I always look forward to execute with quirky, ego-free, and passionate collaborators.



As much as i love rolling up my sleeves and GSD I'm grateful for the moments of recharge, deep reflection, joy, play and curiosity.

FIRST CLASS BUSINESS IN A FIRST CLASS WAY


Through poise and agility, I prioritize collective success through a low-ego, high-empathy approach to every project, challenge or task. Driven by genuine collaboration across all functions and leadership levels, I bring a strong service mindset to anticipate needs, go the extra mile, and handle every request—big or small—with absolute discretion, grace, and attention to detail.

[a few of my interests outside of work]



  • my pet ducks: Lolita, Kiwi, and Benito, herbal elixirs, botany, exploring tiny northern california towns, people watching, summer days on the river, antiques, folk art culture, and mythology. poetry anime and perfectly dimmed lighting. bragging about how i thrifted a designer/vintage outfit for $30 last week. cute baby animal videos, noodles, and Pinterest snack recipes, craft design and architecture. rolling my eyes after hearing about the most recent pop culture hype. visiting libraries. fantasizing about what a society without private-interest lobbyists would be like.

  • mandatory bay gurlie things; yoga//pilates// meditation


cheers to journey and never-ending growth!
