This post is part of the MLK Spotlight, a regular feature on our blog. The goal is to highlight MLK student (or staff) stories, experiences, and perspectives. Have something you'd like to share? Send an email to mlkdesk@umn.edu, or ask your adviser!
Gabriela grew up in Nipomo, California, a small historic rural town in California's central coast. She has a B.A. in Political Science and Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity from Stanford University, and an M.A. in Comparative Ethnic Studies from U.C. Berkeley. She is currently a doctoral candidate in Comparative Ethnic Studies at U.C. Berkeley. Before joining the Martin Luther King, Jr. Program, she taught in the Department of Ethnic Studies at U.C. Berkeley and in the Department of Social and Cultural Sciences at Marquette University. Gabriela's advising style focuses on empowering students with knowledge about university resources while personalizing the advising experience to each student' unique talents and needs.
Gabriela enjoys exploring Minnesota's numerous lakes with her husband, Chester, and their shih-tzhu, Britney (Spears). She also enjoys cooking, watching documentary crime shows, writing poetry, spending time with her cat, and traveling to California to visit with her parents and siblings.
