Meet Miss Gabi
Gabi grew up in a small town in Massachusetts, but developed a strong desire to explore different cultures from a young age. Fascinated by education for development, Gabi studied in American University’s Global Scholars program, graduating in 2016. She spent the 2016-2017 academic year as an English and cross-cultural communication lecturer in Yogyakarta, Indonesia in Gadjah Mada University's vocational school, where she found a passion for teaching. Now as a Global Playground Teaching Fellow she will work in schools in Vietnam, the Philippines, and Cambodia to promote cross-cultural understanding and community development. Follow her journey as she immerses herself in her new host communities and helps to unlock her students' full potential!
