Meet Gabriela de Paula, M.Ed.
Get to know Gabriela, the experience and values behind Evoluir, and her commitment to helping students move forward with clarity and confidence.
Hello! My name is Gabriela de Paula, and I’m the founder of Evoluir. Evoluir means “to evolve” in Portuguese — a name I chose because my goal is to guide students to enter higher education with confidence, to know that they belong, that they are capable, and that they can achieve more than they may currently believe is possible. This led to my passion for helping students and families navigate one of the most important moments in their lives: deciding what comes next after high school and moving on to higher education.
From Students & Families
Gabriela was an incredible support throughout my son’s college application process. She guided him every step of the way, answered all of our questions, and made what could have been a very stressful experience feel smooth and manageable. She is knowledgeable, kind, patient, and truly cares about the students and families she works with. I highly recommend her to any student preparing for college.
Passando aqui para agradecer de todo o meu coração por todo o suporte e assessoria que você deu para mim e pro meu filho na aplicação para o Valencia College. Você é uma pessoa incrível! A sua atenção, carinho e paciência em tirar cada uma das nossas dúvidas e fazer todas aquelas chamadas de vídeo com a gente fizeram toda a diferença. Graças a você, nos sentimos totalmente seguros e a aplicação ficou impecável! Muito obrigada por caminhar ao nosso lado nesse momento tão importante.
Que você continue brilhando e ajudando mais famílias a realizarem seus sonhos aqui na Flórida! Um grande abraço! ❤️
