       Hi! I am Gabby Pelechaty and I am a junior majoring in Advertising and public Relations. I am 21 years old, live with my 4 best friends, and play club soccer for UT. I am originally from a small town called Barnegat. It is about 15 minutes from Long Beach Island, New Jersey. I am very dedicated to school and take a lot of pride in my schoolwork and really enjoy learning. I have always been passionate about art and really enjoyed using Adobe Photoshop in high school. I took Digital Communications for 4 years and that's sort of how I ended up choosing my major. I also enjoy art in other forms like music, painting, reading, and photography. Some of my other hobbies include running marathons, going to the beach, and walking outside. I have two dogs at home named Keely and Maisie. My favorite color is green, and my favorite movies include Little Women , Interstellar, 500 Days of Summer, and  Ratatouille  to name a few. I love to cook and bake especially for my friends and family.
