Gabrielle is the founder and Executive Director of Clear Skies Ranch has been working diligently for 10 years to realize the mission of Clear Skies Ranch. She has a bachelor’s degree in business management and is a drug and alcohol counselor as
well as a Registered Veterinary Technician. Gabrielle also worked in the entertainment industry for over 20 years in many capacities including office management. In this time she has witnessed the ups and downs that artists in the industry experience and has seen many fallen souls consumed by drugs and alcohol. She has first-hand experience with a family member being incarcerated multiple times caused by drug addiction. After 5 helpless years watching someone she cared for destroy his life, she then watched the transformation that occurred from the family member finally transitioning into a drug and alcohol rehabilitation program. After his rehabilitation she saw that the sober living environment was a necessary part of the process of assimilating back into the community. She also saw the need for assistance along the way to enable a person with a substance use disorder to sort out their lives in many ways including, parole officer visits, child support visits etc. Now she uses her love of and experience with animals, to help people in need of a sober living environment. Her philosophy is that with hard work and a renewal of the joy of living, people can learn to live a fulfilling, enriched life with their families and community.
