Gabriela Fullick

Head of Year 8

[email protected]

Hello, I’m Ms. Gabriela, I’m originally from Buckinghamshire, UK. I’ve been in Dubai for two years so next year will be my third at GFS teaching Spanish and French. I went to the University of Manchester and lived in the city for 10 years before moving to Dubai. I became a teacher because I’m passionate about helping students follow their dreams and supporting them to become confident people with a love of learning.

As Head of Year 8, I’m have a deep passion for fostering student wellbeing and confidence by creating robust support structures and nurturing environments that empower students to thrive both academically and personally. I blend personalised guidance with innovative wellbeing strategies, ensuring every student feels valued and equipped to grow, flourish and success. Outside the classroom, I love travelling and eating, luckily they make a great combination and love getting recommendations of places around the city. Other than that, I’m a bit of a bookworm and generally spend my weekends lying in the sun or out with my dog, Otis.
