She describes her work environment as one big family, where everyone is extremely person-centred, many have lived experiences, and all feel strongly about mental health.

Outside of work, Gabby loves travelling, camping, and snorkelling. She deeply loves the ocean and its inhabitants, finding peace and joy in exploring the natural world.
