From the sideline: Gabe is an exceptional natural leader who demonstrates strong interpersonal skills and easily connects with others. He has a remarkable ability to build relationships and is well-liked by his peers, whether in school or during extracurricular activities. I consider him a friend to everyone around him.

His dedication, collaborative spirit, and leadership make him a standout individual in any setting.
