In My Own Words
My name is Gaby, I'm a student graduating from Cal Poly SLO this June! I am graduating with a major in Communications and a minor in Graphic Communication, and I have a passion for sports, photography, and the outdoors. I have worked in a variety of fields from printing to sports to customer service, and have done freelance design for four years.
I am open to new opportunities upon graduating and cannot wait to start a new path!
