Media Relations Specialist
I’m a results-driven content marketer with a foundation in journalism and a passion for impactful storytelling. With experience covering topics from beauty and live events to social movements and protests, I specialize in crafting compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences across platforms.
My approach to media and communications blends empathy, creativity, and data. In past roles, I’ve led successful social and email marketing campaigns, most notably doubling Instagram engagement in just one month. I bring a strong analytical mindset to audience growth, content strategy, and brand visibility.
With wide-ranging interests, from the arts to computer science, I bring curiosity and adaptability to every project. I’m especially motivated by opportunities to shape public perception, amplify voices, and build strong media relationships that drive real results.

“Gaby Messino was a valued contributor during my time as Editor in Chief of Straus News Manhattan. She pitched, reported and wrote news stories and cultural pieces for our four local newspapers and affiliated websites, and was a key player in our weekly story meetings. Gaby’s stories were smart and well reported, often breaking news about upcoming arts events. She could turn stories around quickly on deadline, and she enlivened Straus News Manhattan’s cultural coverage.” – Alexis Gelber, Editor in Chief Straus News
