GABY HURTADO, PROFESSIONAL INTERN

Gaby is a sophomore student at Texas Christian University pursuing a Marketing degree at the Neeley School of Business. Born and raised in Austin, Texas, she is excited to use her creative storytelling to help brands form meaningful connections with their audience.

She is passionate about her volunteer work and supporting women, children, and those experiencing homelessness through her service. One of her most meaningful experiences was leading a 6-week fundraising campaign for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, where her team raised over $40,000 by engaging the Austin community. In this campaign, she was recognized as Team Member of the Year after raising the highest amount of funds among all candidates, personally raising over $15,000 to support childhood cancer. In her free time, she enjoys baking and hosted bake sales across Austin, built relationships with local businesses and utilized corporate donation matching to expand the campaign’s impact. At Texas Christian University she is involved in her sorority, Alpha Chi Omega, where her fundraising efforts include annual support of the Real Chic Women Fashion Show that donates all proceeds to the Women’s Center of Tarrant County. In a combined effort from the ladies of the Iota Lambda chapter, they have raised over $1,000,000 to promote domestic violence awareness.

Gaby brings a strong work ethic, a collaborative mindset, and a genuine desire to contribute wherever she can add value. Drawn to marketing in both a strategic and creative capacity, she is especially interested in how thoughtful ideas and clear messaging can drive solutions, support communities, and help organizations grow with purpose. She is motivated to continue learning and use her skills to make a meaningful difference to every opportunity she is given.
