Gabrielle Garon (6)

Writer, connector, collaborator Gabrielle Garon is on a simple mission to live a life of value, not of success. An avid learner, Gabrielle is passionate about being an influencer and an advocate for change, personal growth, and satisfying those frivolous curiosities about what makes each of us tick. Gabrielle’s been writing since she could print and has future plans to pen a novel, among other things. As a feature writer at NetworkingInVan, Gabrielle is eager to share her perspectives and experiences when it comes to building a brand, a career, and overcoming obstacles along the way. Gabrielle’s favourite networking events are ones where she can socialize, learn something new, and have a glass of wine – not necessarily in that order! The best networking advice Gabrielle has to offer is to “Always be a first rate version of yourself rather than a second rate version of someone else.” – Judy Garland.
