LIFE SKILLS LEARNED AND FRIENDSHIPS 1989 – the same year the internet arrived, the Berlin Wall was toppled and Taylor Swift was born. Gaby is a published author and successful television journalist who is currently working for the Nine Network in Sydney. When asked about her time at St Norberts Gaby recalls the practical skills she learned such as touch typing (a definite requirement for 1990s journalism), Italian lessons and the public speaking and analytical skills she derived from her participation in the debating team. Gaby treasures the friendships forged at St Norbert College and values some life skills she gained including respect, maturity and a deep appreciation of diversity. Gaby says her friends and plenty of laughter helped her negotiate her teenage years successfully and set her up for a career in journalism, which she had settled on from the age of 11. Gaby encourages current students to set their sights high and focus on the end goal, while also enjoying the journey: “Remember to have fun along the way as the years fly too quickly!” Gaby is one of the first St Norbert College ex-students to become a prominent journalist and we congratulate her on her success.
