I have taught English and writing at UC Davis, Saint Mary's College of California, Diablo Valley College, Sacramento City College, Yuba College, and Las Positas College. I have led writing workshops for the Pacific Writing Conference at the University of the Pacific, Word Spring in Chico, and San Joaquin Valley Writers, and participated in a panel at the Great Valley Bookfest. I am currently a tenured professor of English at San Joaquin Delta College.
I have experience as a book, article, and newsletter editor.
I also lead small group writing workshops to help unlock the stories that must be told but are often lingering beneath the surface of our awareness.

Juan Felipe Herrera, former U.S. Poet Laureate, writes the following about my poetry: “Gabrielle Myers does not shy away from a kind of post-mod naturalism, where we can taste things, see things, and even – I dare say – touch their 'opalescent crisp skin.' Although world-stuff and social-stuff shifts and is disassembled in the scenic constructions of her poetics, she manages a lush 21st century personal pointillism. Most lovely, most alluring.”
