Hi! I'm Gabby and I'm a writer based in San Diego, CA. Out of all the topics I enjoy writing about, I have a special place in my heart for beauty, travel, and home decor! I have a B.A. in Business Administration with a minor in Marketing from San Diego State University, where I found an interest in dissecting the dense market and pinpointing products that really and truly fill gaps in the lives of everyday people. I approach my product curation in a very detailed and mindful way, making sure to do my research and truly know the product.
Outside of work, you can find me at either a spin class or pilates class — a.k.a. my healthy obsessions. And if I don’t have an iced coffee (or as I like to call it, liquid patience) in my hand, something must be wrong. I’m also a certified bookworm! (ACOTAR fans, do not hesitate to reach out). And, of course, I love love love to travel!
