Hi all! I’m Gabriela Cohen and I hail from New York City (Manhattan). I like to be called Gabi and my pronouns are she/her/hers. Some people at Ithaca College know me as DJ Jolie, as I am a live event DJ and have performed at several events on campus. I am currently a senior majoring in Television and Digital Media Production. My minor is Live Event Design and Management. In addition to being a PAL with the Pathways Program (formerly the Exploratory Program), I have been a Leader with the Jumpstart program for the past three years. I was the Comedy Chair on the Student Activities Board for several years, twice planned Fountain Fest for incoming students, and have been involved with WICB and ICTV in various capacities. A fun fact about me is that over the summer I took up Kali, a martial art that originated in the Philippines, and that emphasizes fighting both with and without weapons.

As a Theatre Studies student here at Ithaca College, I specialize in dramaturgy, theatre history, and dramatic criticism, with a tentative interest in directing and producing. This year, I'm serving as the production dramaturg on the Center for Theatre and Dance's production of Newsies. Beyond theatre, I am also a World Languages & Cultures translation student (French as a second language), and you may see me serving as a TA for Elementary French. I am a member of Cohort 6 of the BOLD Scholars here on campus as well. Outside of any academic setting, I spend my time reading, playing video games, and listening to music ranging from Taylor Swift to My Chemical Romance. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about theatre, languages, or anything about IC as a whole!
