All About Tr. Gabby
Background
A little bit more about me: I was born in Jamaica, grew up in central Florida and spent the last 21 years living in NYC. I graduated from NYU with both my bachelors and masters having the opportunity to study in Italy, London and Amsterdam during that time. Since then, I have been a teacher for 14 years. In the classroom, I love finding ways to nurture curiosity, intrinsic love of learning and creativity.
My Family
This is me with my husband Joel and our two kiddos Ophelia, 5 years old and Octavius, 3 years old months old (picture taken when Ophelia was 2 years and Octavius was 2 months old).
Some of my favorites!
I love the beach! My favorite food is macaroni and cheese. I enjoy reading and talking about books. I find it fun to discover new music and new artists. I love spending my time dancing, doing yoga, having picnics outside and exploring our new neighborhood here in Philly! .
