Gabriella joined WISN 12 in March 2022.

Gabriella was born and raised in Hartford, Michigan, a small, one-stoplight city in Southwest Michigan. She is a proud Michigan State University graduate (Go Green!) Gabriella spent nearly 5 years reporting on the Texas/Mexico border. Reporting in the Rio Grande Valley allowed Gabriella to find her passion for storytelling. Most importantly, this allowed her to meet new and interesting people every single day, which is her favorite part of reporting. In her time in Texas she reported on the historic June 2019 flooding, mental health in community and poverty. In her spare time she loves traveling to new places, watching a great movie or chasing around her 9-month-old son, Bowie. She and her husband, Jacob, are big foodies. They welcome any and all recommendations for local gems! One of Gabriella’s greatest passions is giving back to her community so she can't wait to get to know more of Milwaukee and lend a hand where can.
