🌟Today`s Fellow Friday Spotlight is on: Gabby!

🏫Gabby has been teaching for five years. She first became interested in the Pilot Light Fellowship to integrate food education with environmental advocacy. She looks forward to collaborating with chefs, empowering students, and implementing advocacy projects. Gabby is the Science Department Chair and a 7th-grade biology teacher at Ogden International School in Chicago, developing lessons on biological science and environmental concerns. She hold a B.A. in Applied Psychology & Development and Elementary Education from Boston College and an M.A. in Teaching with a Dual Certification in Special Education from Relay Graduate School of Education. Her previous experience includes roles with Teach For America and Chicago Public Schools.

💚A Favorite Food Memory:
"One of my favorite food memories is helping to cook with my aunts and uncle on football Sundays. I would wake up early to help prep meals, especially the soup of the week and various appetizers. This tradition not only taught me valuable cooking skills but also instilled a deep appreciation for family and the joy of sharing meals together."

🌱 Over the past school year, Gabby`s students participated in a variety of Pilot Light lessons ranging from composting worm bins, bread making, food advocacy environmental research projects, making homemade pickles, and more! It`s been an honor to see the diversity of experiences Gabby offered her students through her time in the Food Education Fellowship.

Thanks for being an important part of Pilot Light, Gabby! 👏
