Gabriella has always had a passion for working with others and began her career with AmeriCorps in some of the most in-need areas of Philadelphia. She completed three years of service with AmeriCorps, working directly in the classroom, on the development side, and eventually overseeing multiple AmeriCorps projects in Colorado. She continued to work with at-risk youth within nonprofit organizations such as the United Way, the Boys and Girls Club, and the YMCA.
In 2019, Gabriella pivoted her career to restaurant technology, combining another passion of hers: the food industry. As her father was a chef and culinary instructor, she grew up in this industry and began working at Upserve, a cloud-based point-of-sale company, where she strengthened her people skills and further developed a corporate skill set. She later moved on from Upserve to continue advancing in the tech field at Wix, the website development company. At Wix, Gabriella further developed her technical expertise and advanced into a Customer Success Manager position, where she had the privilege of working directly with small and medium-sized business owners.
In 2021, while at Wix, Gabriella started her own business, Gab and Company. Gab and Company began as a personal initiative to combat the growing issue of material sustainability. During COVID, Gabriella saw the impact of mass consumption and the way direct selling and shipping were affecting both the planet and the small business community. She began attending outdoor markets as a way to connect with the community and talk more about slow shopping. Through this process, she also connected with many other small business owners throughout the Denver area. Gab and Company evolved into a business focused not only on sustainability and vintage goods, but also on a holistic, community-centered approach to sustainability. She has worked with numerous vendors and has attended and executed her own events in both the Denver and Philadelphia areas.
After spending nine years in Colorado and a limited amount of time with her family, Gabriella returned home to the Philadelphia area in August 2025. It was a natural transition for her to begin working full time in the recovery field in the town where she herself began her recovery journey. Gabriella got sober in 2012 and has maintained strong personal health, remaining incredibly active in the recovery communities in both Denver and Philadelphia. While in Denver, she worked on events within sober communities and participated in business development with treatment facilities, including some of the leading experts in the field. As a Recovery Specialist Coach, Gabriella continues to deepen her passion for working with others in the field that means the most to her. She also remains committed to ongoing education, including attending Villanova University’s CRS training and recently obtaining a Pilates Instructor certification.
Gabriella believes in a holistic approach that treats the body, mind, and soul. She operates from the belief that each client is an individual with unique experiences and works to support them in developing their own personalized set of tools for success.
