Gabrielle is a lifelong advocate for college access and educational equity. After undergrad, she joined AdviseTX, Texas A&M’s chapter of the National College Advising Corps, as a College Advisor and AmeriCorps member. Although she “accidentally” fell into education, her passion for exposing and empowering underrepresented students motivated her to dedicate the next 10 years to the field of college access. Most recently, she served as a Director of District Strategy at EMERGE Fellowship, an education non-profit that supports hundreds of underrepresented, high-achieving high school students across Greater Houston in matriculating to selective colleges. Gabrielle hopes to use her Fuqua education to identify opportunities where she can expand access to education and development for marginalized communities.
