In 2018, Gabrielle spent three months in Cameroon, West Africa as a chef on the largest non-governmental hospital ship in the world, The Mercy Ship. This opportunity allowed her to merge her passion for nutrition and adventure with the wish to help others in need. While aboard, she cooked daily for a group of 500 doctors, nurses, patients and volunteers from different cultures around the world. The volume and creativity needed to serve such a large, diverse group with different culinary tastes truly elevated her cheffing skills. She plans to return again not only to enrich the crew and patients’ lives, but also hers.
