hello :)
I'M GABRIELE MCDONALD
managing director, mum, avid traveler and champagne lover
I'm no stranger to the mentoring game. I've been involved with mentoring for over 10 years and believe it is a critical element in a character's development. The experience and insights a mentor can convey to a mentee who is eager to excel or to overcome an obstacle can unlock unlimited possibilities in their career.
​
With over 30 years in the insurance industry and as the Managing Director of an underwriting agency, I am passionate about sharing my wealth of knowledge to those who seek it and want to get one step closer to their goals.

Mentor and Me was born to help professionals pivot in the right direction.
