Gabriela Mendizabal

Student Union

Gabriela Mendizabal is an Event Coordinatior with Campus event Services who has been with Florida State for two and a half years. Gaby manages reservations, and plans and coordinates with department liaisons for events at the Student Union, Askew Student Life Center, Student Services Building.
In the words of her nominator: "She is the one of the integral people behind the curtain for some of our largest events on campus. As she is involved helping departments from the beginning to the end on the unseen portion of events, I consider her an unsung hero. So much work goes into the behind the scenes of events that I would love to see her receive recognition for her hard work." Gaby "absolutely loves working with the CES team. It’s a pleasure to collaborate with such a supportive and encouraging group of colleagues. I truly enjoy the nuances of event planning. Taking all elements of an event and figuring out how to make them work cohesively and efficiently. Every day is always different and it is exciting to transform a space to make each event unique in it's own right."
