Gabrielle was born and raised in the Quad Cities and is still a member of its community. In May 2025, she received her Bachelor’s Degree from Liberty University in Business Administration and Digital Marketing.

Growing up, she volunteered for Tuesday night kids club at YouthHope. Leading Bible studies and teaching kids about Christ was always something she loved to do, so volunteering was a fun experience! She also loved connecting with the kids outside of YouthHope, such as going on adventures with them that would not regularly have.

As Gabrielle was planning her future endeavors beyond the books, she felt a calling to ministry her senior year of college. She wasn’t sure what that plan looked like for her, but chose to trust God through the process and that He would lead. He led her back to YouthHope where a position was opened that matched her skill sets and passions well while honoring God.

Outside of YouthHope, Gabrielle is an incredible photographer! She loves snapping photos, traveling, and spending time with her family.

Fun fact: She is the youngest child and has four nephews who are such a joy and light in her life!
