Hello! I'm Gabrielle ("Gabby" for short, and because I talk a lot). As a lifelong Panthers fan I'm very excited to have the opportunity to write for The Rat Trick. And, at times, it's good to have another outlet to vent my frustrations.
I was born in Orlando, FL and grew up in Vero Beach, FL. Decided to head north and endure the season of winter at Seton Hall University where I majored in Journalism with a minor in Broadcasting & Visual Media.
I'm now working at ESPN in Bristol, CT as an Assistant Integration Producer.
Go Cats! #WESEERED
