Who We Are
Gabrian “Gabe” McPhail (she/they) has over two decades of experience facilitating projects for small-scale municipalities, nonprofits, and community groups. Over the past several years, Gabe has focused on providing resilience planning support to small, rural, primarily island communities in the areas of climate adaptation and economic, social, and environmental sustainability.
Gabe is an avid hiker and trail runner. She lives with her dog Mr. Business on the unabridged island of Vinalhaven, Maine, traditional land of the Penobscot Nation of the Wabanaki Confederacy.
“I strive (albeit not always successfully!) to live and work in alignment with my values – Awareness, Accountability, Clarity, Empathy, Equity, Gratitude, Honesty, Humility, Integrity, Joy, Respect, Service, Sustainability, and Serenity. I believe in choice, diversity, risk, courage, and the power of community. I believe in using my privilege for “good”, and I work intentionally to show up as the best version of myself.”
