Gabrielle is a native Bostonian with more than a decade of experience working as a conflict analyst, adviser, and advocate. She began her career working on projects related to post-conflict governance in eastern Africa and accountability for violations against children in armed conflict. In 2013, she moved to Myanmar, where she gained a recognized expertise in the Rakhine State conflict. More broadly, her work spanned peacebuilding programs and organizational management, dialogue and conflict sensitivity initiatives and civil society promotion, in part through her role as Deputy Country Director for CDA Collaborative Learning Projects. She became an independent consultant in 2017, advocating and providing analysis and advisory support to the diplomatic community, multilateral agencies and humanitarian actors during the Rohingya Crisis. These efforts included advising the Rakhine Advisory Commission, chaired by former UNSG Kofi Annan, the International Criminal Court, the Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue, and others. She is the author of several publications and news articles and has been a vocal proponent of the need for reform in foreign policy responses to violent conflict. Over the last two years, Gabrielle has continued to work as an independent analyst and researcher based in London. She spent lockdown trawling the Kindle Store, songwriting and Zoom-singing with the wonderful SHE Choir London, and leading several global research initiatives exploring the intersection of the COVID-19 pandemic and conflict. She continues to stand in solidarity with the people of Myanmar in their struggle for democracy.
