My name is Gabriela Reyna Gutierrez Flores. I am the daughter of Moises Gutierrez and Reyna Flores. I am 15 years old and currently attend Topeka High School. Right now, I spend my free time as a volunteer at Stormont Vail Hospital to explore the medical field. I enjoy playing soccer and spending time with my family. I have decided to run for Fiesta Topeka queen this year because I want to be more actively involved with my parish and this is an opportunity for me to not only be involved but also to give back to the parish. The Fiesta Topeka always brings families and friends together working towards a common goal and I want to be a part of that experience. Our Lady of Guadalupe parish has allowed me to meet and make amazing friends who love one another and want to keep growing and learning about Jesus and His Word. I want to keep growing and learning, and I believe that by being a part of the Fiesta Topeka royalty journey as a candidate, I will learn so much more about my faith, myself, make many new friendships along the way and most important, I will learn the value of giving back to my parish and community and share in a memorable and fun experience at this year’s Fiesta Topeka. I am so grateful that I have my family supporting me in this decision and I appreciate all those who come out to support this year’s candidates by volunteering or just by buying some delicious food. Thank you once again for giving me this opportunity to be a part of Fiesta Topeka royalty and help out my parish.
