Gaby is a Lecturer in the School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts. She has worked in a special and academic library, managed a memorabilia collection, and participated in several systematic review teams. Gaby's research interests include bibliometrics, particularly the role of citation-based measures in research assessment, and the communication of research to practice in librarianship.

Gaby joined the Department of Information Studies in September 2008. Her previous position was Humanities Faculty Librarian for Curtin University Library, and before that she worked as Research Project Officer for the WA Centre for Evidence Based Nursing and Midwifery. These roles have led to a continued interest in evidence based practice, open access and e-publishing, and assessment of research in humanities and social science disciplines.

As Humanities Librarian, Gaby project managed the Elizabeth Jolley Research Collection - a website and searchable database of items by and about Elizabeth Jolley. She was closely involved in activities related to the RQF and ERA, including managing the University's institutional repository for receipt and storage of RQF publications.  

Gaby is a member of the Australian Library and Information Association's Research Committee and on the editorial board of the Australian Library Journal. She wrote Evidence Summaries for the online journal Evidence Based Library and Information Practice between 2006-2009, and was a member of the program committees for the 2006 ALIA biennial conference and the Educause Australasia 2009 conference.

Between 1994-2000, Gaby managed the memorabilia collection of the West Coast Eagles football club.
