Originally from the West, Gabby now calls Vermont home, where she feels a strong connection to both the natural beauty and the sense of community. She holds a master’s degree in Environmental Sustainability, Planning, and Management from the University of Colorado Boulder. Gabby has worked with various nonprofit organizations, including those focused on environmental philanthropy, land management, refugee assistance, and food access. Through this work, she has gained valuable insight into the challenges and opportunities faced by both global and local nonprofits. Gabby has also spent time living and working on farms, which deepened her appreciation for and understanding of community food systems.
In her free time, Gabby enjoys spending time with her partner, hosting game nights with friends, running with her dog, solving puzzles, and practicing yoga.
