Gabriella "Gabi" Treviño is a senior at Robinson and a staff writer for Knight Writers. This is her first year on staff. No stranger to high school journalism, Treviño was a staffer for the award-winning Excalibur Yearbook during the 2022-23 school year. However, upon discovering her interest in video production, Trevino was compelled to join the Knight Writers staff. Treviño loves making videos and is especially excited about producing videos for Knight Mic, Knight Writers' man-on-the-streets style videos. "I feel like [newspaper is like TV production] in the same way since we still get to do videos and stuff," Treviño said. Outside of journalism, Treviño is a rap music enthusiast. Her favorite artist is Kanye West. "Truly, no one does it like him," Treviño said. A big role model in Treviño's life is her mother. She feels that her mother giving birth and raising her is a good enough reason to earn that title from her. After high school, Treviño pictures herself being rich and wealthy and having the means to support herself. Something that keeps Treviño motivated and on task, even through tough times would be her fear of failure. "I feel like either that or the thought of getting in trouble," Treviño said.
