gabyspartz(at)gmail.com - I'd love to hear from you!

The internet is my life and I absolutely love it. I’m the Co-founder and VP of Community at Spartz Media. Spartz Media is an online entertainment company headquartered in Chicago. The Spartz Network of websites which includes OMGFacts, GivesMeHope and MuggleNet attracts 17 million readers across a dozen websites, mobile sites and apps. Spartz Media’s brands have over 12 million followers on Facebook, Youtube and Twitter. I'm also the host of the OMGFacts YouTube show OMGFactsOfficial.

In the words of someone more eloquent than I...

“When Gaby and the Internet met over a decade ago, it was love at first sight. Born and raised in Quito, Ecuador she spent her childhood chasing high scores in video games and even higher scores in life. This earned her a ticket to the University of Notre Dame, where she graduated with a degree in Management. Shortly after graduation, she co-founded GivesMeHope and embraced her true calling.”

Feel free to contact me with any questions. My email and social media profiles are listed below :)
