Biographical Sketch
Gabriela is a third-year Neurology resident interested in Neuromuscular disease, and developing strategies for using Social Media as an Educational Tool in Neurology. She chose to join the UPMC program because she loved the residents and attendings during the interview day. On top of that, it also offers a broad experience in all Neurology subspecialties, serving a large patient population, with an excellent team of neurology educators. An interesting fact about her is that she founded and runs a website (www.neudrawlogy.com) where she shares Neurology-related infographics. She is also very active on X (formerly Twitter), where she has connected with numerous individuals - and some of them have become her mentors! Her favorite rotations include Neuromuscular, EMG, and Stroke. Outside of Neurology, she enjoys baking, cooking, watching cooking reality shows, and traveling. She is applying for a Neuromuscular Fellowship.
