A Student Council member for four years, Gabrielle (“Gab”) currently serves as Senior Vice President on the Student Council's Executive Board. As a four-year member of For the Kids (FTK), she has helped raise money to find a cure for childhood cancer. And since her sophomore year, Gab has given back to the local community as a member of her school's Feeding Fellow Americans Club, which prepares food packages for distribution by Philabundance, the area's largest hunger relief organization.
Gab also serves as a member on several sports teams. Since age 5, she has played softball, first in the Newtown Square Petticoat League (NSPL), and all four years at MNHS. Since freshman year, she has also been on the Indoor Track and Tennis teams. Gab’s tennis skill and team leadership earned her the role of Tennis team Captain in her junior and senior years.

Gabrielle also excels academically, and is a member of the National Honor Society, the English Honor Society and the Social Studies Honor Society. And as a member of the World Language Honor Society, she enjoys studying the culture of Spanish- and French-speaking countries and participating in charity drives to benefit needy people in those countries.
Gab’s college major may be Environmental Studies because she’s “super-passionate about preserving the environment and renewable energy sources.” She’s also considering studying Business Marketing, to prepare for a career in sports marketing or management.
