Since 2013, Gabby has been helping students identify their passions and pursue their educational goals. While still in college, she began working with outreach groups in Allentown, Pennsylvania, to help underserved students apply to college while simultaneously assisting her Muhlenberg College peers in their pursuit of higher education. A college counselor, personal statement expert, test-prep instructor, academic tutor, and career mentor, Gabby has combined her unique experiences as a pre-med-focused Neuroscience and English B.S./B.A. with her love of teaching to offer students a highly personalized college and career planning experience.
Firmly believing that every student is unique, Gabby tailors her instruction to meet students where they are, providing support and guidance throughout their academic and career development journeys. Experienced in serving students with a diverse range of personal, family, and learning experiences, Gabby helps students craft moving personal narratives, design college lists that fit their needs and desires, discover new and interesting majors and programs that intersect their passions, and navigate the complexities of college applications with ease.
