Gabby Follett
Ann Arbor Area

Gabby Follett is a recent graduate from the University of North Carolina Wilmington where she earned her B.A. in Film Studies. Gabby’s colorful childhood travels have given her a strange outlook on life and interest in the extraordinary stories of seemingly ordinary people. Gabby was born in Brooklyn, New York, and has lived in five states in 21 years—giving her both a vast array of experiences and a sense of hometownlessness. In addition, she has travelled along the entirety of both the East and West Coasts as well as the Southern border of the United States. She is the oldest of five children and a member of a rather large extended family—this experience makes her particularly interested in stories that involve families.

I also teach these retreats in Northern Michigan in the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park. Open to all who want to quest for deep vision with the assistance of the natural world. My work pertains to all the arts.

The National Endowment for the Arts called FITC a “national leader in media arts education” and “the flagship of the media arts field.” Following mid-career Master’s and Ph.D studies, I facilitated development of a North American studies center at a Polish university, designed online training for piano teachers, and led development of and teacher training in a preschool math curriculum for an educational research foundation. I have extensive experience researching literacy education and coaching teachers in first-grade literacy and math education. I have designed software for teaching expository literacy in primary school.
