Gabriella Ilardi is a junior attending Ripon High School. She works her hardest to get the job done, and her goals for this school year are to stay committed to her work during these uncharted times and despite the distance, make sure the student body stays interested and involved in school events. Personally she wants to continue to work on loving herself for who she is and being confident with that person. This is Gabriella’s third year in leadership, and she is also involved in Link Crew, Pride Tribe, and Block R. She plays golf in the fall, soccer in the winter, and works with Jennaveve Albert and Jenna Skavdol as a Link Crew/Renaissance Coordinators in the leadership program at RHS. Her job description includes keeping all Renaissance and Block R items organized and handed out to students throughout the year (as well as creating their sign ups), making sure Link Crew is involved in events such as hot chocolate socials, study buddy nights, and 8th grade day, finding sponsors for Renaissance, and finally planning Freshmen Orientation with the AD and helping assist her with Link Crew groups. This is Gabriella’s second year with this job after she trained from Lydia last year about running these two programs and planning events. She is excited to train two new lovely ladies this year and teach them all she knows. In Gabriella's freetime she is usually at the golf course, either practicing her own game or helping her coach out with teaching young beginners the basic fundamentals of golf. She hopes to play golf in college after high school competitively at a school either down in SoCal or back east. Gabriella is excited to explore future pathways this year, and visit mutiple colleges. She is very positive about this year and is being supportive of whoever needs it in her class because leadership is family. Gabriella has high hopes for her position this year because she can actually plan events in person. There is so much she did not get to do during her training year, and now she is ready to get every in motion!
