Hi I’m Gabriella but my friends and family usually call me Gab or Gabby. I am from Staten Island NY. So I am about forty minutes out from the city. I am a Junior and I am majoring in early childhood/childhood education with a concentration in English. I have always wanted to work with kids. At home I work at a private pre-school and I used to be a dance teacher. I have been dancing since I was three and dancing competitively since I was seven. It has always been a big part of my life so I continued my dance career here at Suny Cortland. I am a member of the cortland danceworks team. In my free time besides dancing I like to read a lot. I am a little bit of a book worm but I also really love to work out and catch up on a new show!
