Gabby is a 24 year old future educator. She is currently getting her math education degree while working with students for the past 6 years. She has a strong passion for working with the youth and her goal in life is to make a difference in kids lives all throughout the community. While pursuing this passion, she has also been fighting cystic fibrosis. Her life consisted of countless hospital stays for 10 days minimum, lots of medications and breathing treatments. In 2018, her life was completely changed for the better when she started a gene modulator medication.

Along with her CF, she became mostly deaf throughout her late high school & early college years. Her hearing loss came from an IV medication she would go on while in the hospital. Since losing 85% of her hearing, she has received a cochlear implant in her right ear and has a new way she looks at life.

Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited disorder that damages the lungs and digestive system.

Cystic fibrosis affects the cells that produce mucus, sweat, and digestive juices. It causes these fluids to become thick and sticky. They then plug up tubes, ducts, and passageways.
