She spent her childhood in the family's ancestral home in Pasay. She graduated high school from St. Paul College, Pasig.

In her teenage years, she was a member of the school choir, dance troop, and cheering squad. She also won in a few beauty pageants before auditioning for GMA Artist Center. For a few years, she was credited as Gabrielle Garcia.

She was later paired with Ruru Madrid in a loveteam, and together, they headlined various projects such as the teledrama Let the Love Begin, the political sitcom Naku, Boss Ko!, and the 2016 remake of the fantasy series Encantadia. In Encantadia, Garcia portrayed the breakout role of Sang'gre Alena, originally played by Karylle, elevating her and her co-stars' celebrity status.
