Gabrielle is a Roberston Scholar at UNC Chapel Hill, majoring in Geography at UNC and Environmental Sciences and Policy at Duke University. She has participated in research projects on sea-level rise, transboundary resource allocation, and pipeline density and social vulnerability; has interned with the Harvard Project on Indigenous Governance; and is completing an honours thesis on energy governance and Indigenous sovereignty. Gabrielle studied abroad in Cambodia, where she researched community forestry. She comes from a proud Red River Métis family and has served on the Métis Nation of Ontario Youth Council since 2020. She has travelled with Métis National Council delegations to COP16 and to Colombia. Gabrielle loves canoe-tripping and backpacking: she has faceplanted at Angkor Wat, been rained off a mountain in Japan, and narrowly avoided being trodden on by cattle while sleeping on the banks of Utah’s San Juan River.
