Gabriella Castro, Co-Editor-in-Chief

Gabriella Castro (well known as Gaby), follows up her Senior year with the Wildcat Chronicle as she chases deadlines like no tomorrow. A Best of SNO winner and part of the 2024 Pacemaker team, she loves writing, reading, and coloring… pretty much anything to pass the time, she is up for.

From writing in cheap crayons to typing on a damaged Chromebook, Gaby has always known her passion flows through documenting. The Chronicle is a community she genuinely loves being a part of (even if it may not be physically noticeable) and hopes to help make a positive change in her final year.

She loves getting her hands full with all sorts of hobbies ranging from boxing and running to music and books. Always trying to be positive and directive as she learns through high school. At first glance she may seem tired, crusty, and lazy – but perhaps a second look can help.
