Gabrielle Hooks

Gabrielle Hooks is the Communications and Marketing Manager at Nevada GrantLab, leading the organization’s communications strategy, content development, and marketing across digital, email, social media, and events.

Gabrielle brings more than a decade of experience in communications and marketing. After starting out in corporate and creative agency environments, she discovered her passion for mission-driven and community-centered work — leading communications and marketing efforts for nonprofit organizations, entrepreneurial and professional communities, and creative industries.

Prior to joining GrantLab, she spent years deeply embedded in SF Bay Area community life, producing in-person experiences ranging from large-scale community mixers to entrepreneurial gatherings, building audiences, and connecting people through joy that put community at its center.
Gabrielle holds a Bachelor of Science in Advertising from San Jose State University.

A proud Las Vegan by way of the Bay Area, Gabrielle is particularly drawn to the energy and creativity of Downtown Vegas. Outside of work, she plays bass guitar, loves public karaoke, and spends her weekend mornings hiking the trails at Red Rock Canyon.
