Outside of work, Gale enjoys photography, traveling, and reading and said that if she could have any job in the world and didn’t have to necessarily be concerned about income, she would be a photographer and/or writer. Her very first paying job was baby-sitting at age 11, and it was very competitive since there were four girls around the same age who would try to be the first to welcome new families with small children to the neighborhood to get their babysitting business! This aligns with her favorite quote she lives by: “Tough times never last, but tough people do”– Robert H. Schuller.

Something you wouldn’t know about Gale is the fact that she labels herself an ambivert, sharing that most of her friends and family consider her extremely extroverted, but she’s also introverted, valuing her alone time to recharge and refresh her mind.
