Hi, I'm Gabby

I'm a computer science masters student at Brown University, pursuing a career in user experience.

Currently, I'm a graduate student in the Brown HCI Lab, focusing on computational solutions for mental health challenges. This past summer, I worked as a Product Design intern at Facebook, specifically on the Oculus App Store. For more details, see my full resume. 
​
If I'm not working at the computer, you can find me playing with my bunny or flying to a new city. I love trying new things and hope to visit 10 new countries before I turn 25.

Fun fact: Dribbble is my favorite way to stalk people.
