Welcome Gabriela

Hello everyone! My name is Gaby and I am currently in the OTA program at Wright College. I am so excited to immerse myself in the Gigi’s Playhouse experience for the next 8 weeks. I have heard so many wonderful things about Gigi’s in the past and I am so grateful that I now get to see why! In my brief time at the Playhouse I hope to build relationships and develop skills that will carryover into my OTA journey.  

Now, I would like to give you all some fun facts about myself to help you get to know me better. 

  1. I love animals (not insects though…sorry!) 
  1. I was 21 years old when I tried a hamburger for the first time. 
  1. I learned Mandarin Chinese at school for a total of 5 years. 
  1. I have 2 cats – Anakin and Mia  
  1. I hope to work with children 0-3 years old through Early Intervention once I receive my OTA degree. 

Thank you for welcoming me to Gigi’s Playhouse with such open arms. I am eager to get to know everyone. Feel free to say hi or ask me some questions about my fun facts! 

-Gaby V.
