Gabriel who is from Bioche, was among two athletes who represented Dominica at the London Olympics in 2012.
 
She competed in the 200m and the 400m runs, as well as the 4x400m relay. She captured gold in all of the three.

She subsequently wrote on her Facebook page, “I had my first Track Meet Yesterday. It was more like a training to me. I wanted much more out of this meet, but it’s just the first meet. So I’ll keep looking forward, because that’s the only thing I could do. I won all my events. Thank God for a successful and injury free meet”.
