Gabrielle Pickens, a military veteran and entrepreneur from Chicago, started her career in the Navy in 2013 and quickly climbed the ranks to Petty Officer Second Class in a matter of six years. Awarded three Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals and a host of other awards, she values high performance and hard work.

Her newest venture, Barracks To Baller, is a down-to-earth online transition course stemming from her own journey of transition from Active Duty. She hopes to continue to inspire and help other Active Duty members conquer the mental blocks that are holding them back from living a life they truly desire.
