STATEN ISLAND, N.Y — And the title of Miss Staten Island goes to .....Gabriella Marinelli, a 23 year-old resident of Dongan Hills who impressed judges with her poise and powerful platform, her talent and her authenticity in interview.

Marinelli, who was crowned by Madison Gattullo, Miss Staten Island 2025, is an executive assistant and producer of ABC’s Emmy Award winning news show, “Good Morning America.”

The new titleholder wowed a panel of judges with a lyrical dance — that embodied various aspects of ballet, jazz, acrobatics and modern dance — to Whitney Houston’s “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength.”
