As seen on national TV
Defy
Definition.
I’m featured in Rowan University’s “Defy Definition” commercial, which aired on national television as part of the university’s national ad campaign. It shows what it looks like to be an All-American athlete and an engineer at the same time: on the track and in the lab.

About
I’m Gabriella Pagano. I study electrical and computer engineering, I run distance, and I spent the last few years designing graphics and video for my university’s teams.
At Rowan I’ve worked on VR and AR research, co-authored three papers, and built Schedule4ME for students after the old scheduler went offline. On the side I was the main designer for the Rowan Women’s XC and Track & Field Instagram. Running taught me the same thing engineering does: show up, set the goal, do the work.
