Gabrielle graduated from Westgate in 2008 as the first third generation Westgate graduate. Her interest in continued faith development led her to continue her studies at Canadian Mennonite University. Here she completed a Bachelor of Music in Senior Years Instrumental Education with a double minor in French and theology. During her high school and university years, Gabrielle became increasingly interested in teaching and working with young people. She started worship leading and preaching at her home congregation and taught private piano lessons. She spent many summers at Camps with Meaning including a summer as Integration Coordinator at Camp Moose Lake and Bible Instructor at Camp Assiniboia. After graduating from CMU Gabrielle did a three month Pastoral Internship at Emmanuel Mennonite Church in Winkler. She than graduated from U of M with a B.Ed. Gabrielle spent the first five years of her career teaching middle school music in French Immersion schools before happily returning to Westgate, where she currently teaches music, Christian Studies, and German. Gabrielle is excited to combine her passions for faith formation and education at Westgate. Gabrielle loves travelling the world and adventuring outdoors. She is happy to have found a partner, Stephen, who enjoys travelling with her. When they are in Winnipeg, they spend much of their time visiting with their families, hanging out at her grandparents’ cottage, and playing board games. Together they have one child. They are members at Jubilee Mennonite Church. In her free time, Gabrielle also loves playing ultimate and basketball, playing piano, and connecting with friends.
