Gabrielle began her career at Sesame Workshop, where she headed the children’s casting department for the Emmy^® Award-winning program Sesame Street and home videos. She also co-managed celebrity bookings and landed guests like Jodie Foster, Laurence Fishburne, Garth Brooks, and Julia Roberts. After selling her first show idea to Sesame Workshop, Gabrielle served as development assistant at J.P. Kids, and was soon promoted to associate director of development. Four years later, she accepted a development executive position at The N Network, which was rebranded as TeenNick, a nighttime network for teens and a programming arm of MTV Networks. While there, she developed live-action and animated properties with production giants such as Endemol and Klasky Csupo. Gabrielle was also assigned to find unscripted properties for the network and discovered the successful competition series Queen Bees, which aired on TeenNick and MTV.
