More info: Originally from Ecuador. Gabby moved to MN three years ago with her wife. In addition to her experience as a psychologist and adult mental health case manager, she has worked as a teacher in a Spanish Immersion Daycare. Her connection to this work is both professional and personal with her brother-in-law Joseph who has inspired her commitment to inclusion and advocacy. Outside of work, Gabby enjoys practicing yoga, Pilates, riding bike and sipping on a good cup of coffee. My favorite foods are cassava and plantains.
