About

About Me.

Hey! I'm Gabby, the Director of Social Media at Newsday. I oversee the strategy and decisions behind all of Newsday and NewsdayTV’s social media platforms. As a born and raised Long Islander, I'm able to connect with Newsday’s audience on a personal level. I'm also the co-host of a video podcast series, Long Island TikTawk, where I interview local content creators across the Island. Outside of the newsroom, I'm a mom, dance teacher, and the biggest ABBA fan you’ll ever meet. 

Long Island TikTawk

An award-winning podcast talking about turning TikTok videos into financially profitable ventures. It changed the way these content creators view their careers and futures on, and off, Long Island. Hosted by Gabriella Vukelić, Priscila Korb-Kane & Vincent Matula. Directed by Gabriella Vukelić.
