Originally from Cranberry Township, Gabrielle now works as a Safety Manager and enjoys spin classes, music, and time with her dog, Penny. Her advice for young players: Keep showing up, have fun, and enjoy the game your way. Dedicated and supportive, she’s committed to helping every player learn and grow at their own pace.
