Recognized by the AIA Austin with a 2023 Emerging Professionals Award, and currently nominated for an Austin Under 40 Award, Gabby is an inspiring guest to wrap up season 8 of A Student’s Perspective. Gabby “has a passion for philanthropy, education, and advocacy, with an architectural specialization is in the K-12 sector, with a focus on long range facility planning, design, and construction of educational institutions. Gabriella is an advocate for public education students, currently serving as a board member for her local education foundation and as the SchoolsNEXT Regional Coordinator for the Association for Learning Environments (A4LE), focused on creating the ‘School of the Future’ as designed by partnering K-12 schools.
