Gabriela grew up in the San Francisco Bay Area and is very proud of her Mexican and Italian American heritage. She became interested in film and photography at a young age, in large part thanks to her father, international photojournalist Lou Dematteis. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Film & Television Production from Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles in 2013 and spent the year following graduation volunteering full-time at a supportive housing nonprofit in New York City supported by the Jesuit Volunteer Corps. Gabriela strives to bring care, compassion, empathy, and understanding to all of her projects and lead her teams in creating engaging character-driven content for global audiences.

Gabriela's favorite part of filmmaking is the opportunity it gives her to bring people together to share people's stories. She hopes that the stories she helps create spark new connections between people, new ideas, and new ways of relating to the world and each other. She is excited to help produce stories that she believes will engage, inform, surprise, and impact its viewers.
