She was drafted by Carlton with the club's fourth selection and the thirtieth overall in the 2016 AFL Women's draft.[1] She made her debut in Round 1, 2017, in the club and the league's inaugural match at Ikon Park against Collingwood.[2] A consistent 2019 season as a running half back flanker with clean disposal, saw Gabriella awarded the honour of a place in The All Australian Team.
