Gabe came to Northeastern from LA, where they cultivated a dual interest in politics and social justice. Gabe first became interested in Northeastern at a college information session hosted by their high school. They were intrigued by Northeastern’s co-op program. During a CSSH mixer for admitted students in March 2016, Gabe was drawn to the integrated Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (PPE) degree program. Gabe graduated in 2020 with a BS in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics (PPE) and a BA Communication Studies with a minor in Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies.

“My passion for feminism informs all of my other academic interests. I come from the LGBTQ community and grew up with strong female role models, so studying feminism allows me to better understand behaviors of my own and others and how stereotypes affect how they are perceived. Through studying communications, politics, and gender studies, I’m able to understand how to identify an issue, propose policy, and effectively communicate its outcomes.”
