Gabby Urso
Office Assistant
Hi, I'm Gabby! I am a junior at LSU pursuing a degree in psychology. I hope to pursue a career in mental health as a social worker and work with adolescents. I have had the opportunity to learn so much from the clinicians and administrators at Genesis. At Genesis, I do a lot of administrative work, but I try my best to alleviate some of the work for the clinicians so they can focus solely on their clients!
