Oh Gabby Geo...what can I say, this girl really likes her rocks. Though "really likes" isn't nearly accurate enough, because when Gabby gets going on her daily stories of rocks, the words come flying out a mile-a-minute, her voice raises about an octave as her excitement grows, and her little face lights up with pure joy! Yes, "absolutely loves," not "really likes," is definitely more fitting. Her favorite mineral is olivine.

Gabby Geo has another great love in her life...her cat, Kiki. I personally prefer to use the affectionate name of Tubby, as weighing in at roughly 20 lbs., it is much more suiting; though, "Kiki The Craaazy" also works since she has a tendency to roll off chairs, fall down stairs, and jump head-first into the back of the couch. A very special animal indeed...
While from the Midwest, she's a well-traveled girl, having lived in South-Central Africa for a year, researched in China for a month, and visited various European countries. She came to college initially thinking she wanted to study Paleontology, but after starting school, she quickly changed her mind. So narrowing in on her passion for the history of the earth and the awesomeness of plate tectonics, Gabby Geo determined that Geology was her calling.
