Experience

Gabrielle LaRochelle is a writing chameleon. There is no beat she will not undertake. Gabrielle has traveled to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil to assist in a documentary on favelas, sex workers, and Brazilian students trying to navigate living under President Bolsonaro's regime. She also traveled to different islands in Indonesia to conduct scientific studies and create academic papers on biodiversity and natural resource conservation.

Education

Gabrielle LaRochelle went to The New School: Eugene Lang in New York City, NY, for her undergraduate degree and received her Bachelor of Arts in Journalism + Design & Global Studies with a minor in Race and Ethnicity. She will also receive her graduate degree at Université de Paris CITE in Paris, France, where she will receive a Master of Arts degree in History and Civilization.
