Aloha, my name is Gabrielle Smythe and I am a second year Ka Mōʻī staff reporter. I am currently a senior and have been at this school since kindergarten. I love to read and write (which explains why I’m in the student newspaper). In addition to this, I also have an affinity for psychology which is why I created Dear Gabby (a section in the newspaper that allows students to submit questions for my advice in return). Overall, I am very excited to start a new year here in Ka Mōʻī and see all the new changes that we have in store!
