A Step Above: Gabriella Quarantello

Bishop Gorman High School                                                               

Class of 2012

What’s behind a beautiful smile? A lot more than teeth and gums, if you ask Bishop Gorman High School senior Gabriella Quarantello. There’s certainly much behind her own. Confidence, for one. Charisma, for another. Intelligence and talent are present and accounted for as well. But even more evident is a kind-hearted disposition; one rooted in a desire to achieve her highest potential while doing what she can to lift the spirits of others. Whether performing on the stage, speaking behind a podium, volunteering her time or working steadfastly toward her goals, she’s making the grade and making a difference, and for that, Gabriella Quarantello is – A Step Above.

Goals and Aspirations: “My goals are to graduate from high school and attend UNLV to obtain my bachelor’s degree in biology with a professional concept, then attend dental school. Eventually, I would love to become an oral surgeon, because when people feel good about their teeth, they will smile more, therefore, bringing happiness to all.”

 

Gabriella Looks Up To: “I look up to my parents because they are so strong in every aspect. I look up to them in so many ways, because I admire their love for their family so much. They will drop anything to spend time with me.”

 

Cause for Concern: “If I could, I would be president of the American Heart Association, because in 2010 my dad had six-coronary bypass open heart surgery. Two weeks later, he was discharged; truly one of the happiest days of my life. I want to help other families who are going through this situation, because having my dad’s life given back to me is priceless.”
