Bio
Gabriela Juarez-Rivas (born May 5, 2008) is an American figure skater competing in ladies singles. A native of Mountain View, California, she trains at Sharks Ice San Jose under coaches Olga Ganicheva, Aleksey Letov, and Rafael Arutyunyan, and works with choreographer Shae-Lynn Bourne. She represents the Peninsula Skating Club.
