Hello! My name is Gabriela Jardine and I work here at Children’s Story Time as a writer! I currently live in Austin Texas and study at The University of Texas. I major in Health Promotion and Behavioral Science with a focus on Education and Early Childhood Development and minor in Studio Art. I plan to continue my education studying childhood development. Something I love about Austin is all the things you can do outside, I love swimming outdoors and so does my dog Sage, so I take him with me to explore new swim spots. I am very passionate about self-expression and love using art to educate and express myself. I am so excited for everyone to see all the amazing things Children’s Story Time has to offer. Hope to hear from all of you soon, and I would love to answer any questions!
