Gabriella is a mother to two children, who has lived in the Tri-Cities for the majority of her life. She has always had a deep rooted passion when it comes to helping people and serving her community. After two cesarean births, she decided she wanted to go to nursing school to work as a labor and delivery nurse.

While preparing for nursing school, Gabi was introduced to the birth center and fell in love with the idea of midwifery. One of her first experiences as a birthing assistant was watching a midwife feed one of the laboring moms chocolate when she was feeling tired. The amount of love and care they poured into the birthing moms, at all stages, was something she felt called to stand behind.

After a year working as a birth assistant, Gabi applied to the Midwives College of Utah. She is in her first year of school, and plans to graduate by 2027. She feels grateful to be working as a student under the midwives who taught her everything she knows now. She looks forward to what the future has to offer for midwifery and hopes she can make a difference in maternal care here in the Tri-Cities.
