About Gabriella

How would you briefly describe your gameplay style?

As a setter, I strive to be precise and adaptable. I focus on delivering accurate sets to my hitters, ensuring they have the best opportunities to score. I also stay attentive and flexible, quickly adjusting to the flow of the game and the strengths of my teammates. Communication is key, so I constantly coordinate with my team to maintain a strong offense. People describe me as energetic and fun!

Can you provide a brief description of your mentality or personality?

I would describe my mentality as resilient and full of grit. I believe in facing challenges head-on and learning from every experience, whether it's a success or a setback. My personality is positive and supportive; I enjoy encouraging others and working together to achieve common goals.

Are you involved in any clubs, organizations, or have you received any non-sport awards?

I take part in volunteering and community services. I am part of the National Charity League (non-profit and philanthropic organization of mothers and daughters) that focus on community service and leadership development. My favorite activities are working at the Galveston Food Bank and Special Olympics. I also work at my church’s social gatherings and events.

What skills or qualities have you developed, such as leadership, teamwork, or community service?

I am part of the school volleyball leadership team, this has enhanced my leadership abilities and taught me the importance of being a supportive teammate. I deeply care about my community; I participate in the "Buddy program", helping young kids learn volleyball. Additionally, I mentor students in the gifted and talented program at my old elementary school. I am part of NCL.

Have you faced any significant challenges? If so, please describe.

During one of my volleyball seasons, I fractured my right hand and had to wear a cast for 8 weeks. As the starting setter, my absence impacted my team. Despite being unable to play, I supported and guided my teammates from the sidelines. Mentally, it was tough to overcome the fear of playing again and to regain my setting skills, but I persevered and worked hard to make a strong comeback

What type of college are you looking for?

I'm open to various options, but I'm particularly interested in a college with a strong volleyball program where I can continue to develop my skills. Additionally, I want a place where I can thrive academically, with rigorous programs and supportive faculty. Finding a balance between athletics and academics is important to me, so I'm looking for a college that excels in both areas.

Palermo sets for high school powerhouse Friendswood and for the famed club Houston Stellar , which she recently joined. She’s one of the players I was already familiar with coming into the event, and I was excited to see that she was able to take her game to another level when compared to the last time I got to watch her in action. Because her technique has always been very well-developed, I think most of the progress was a result of a more confident and relaxed attitude on the court, which just makes her game flow better. Palermo was very creative and dynamic with how she ran her offense, using all of her hitters and it was easy to see how she was connecting well with them, both on and off the court.
