Career
Garcia began working in commercials and joining singing competitions. In 2014, she made her television acting debut as one of the young lead stars in GMA Network's primetime series My Destiny. 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.

The loveteam continued to collaborate in another television drama, Sherlock Jr., but in 2018, Garcia's protagonist character unexpectedly died in the middle of the series, marking the end of Garcia and Madrid's onscreen loveteam.

At the same year, Garcia starred in her first television drama outside the former loveteam through Pamilya Roces with Gloria Diaz and Carla Abellana. In 2019, she starred in the revenge drama series Beautiful Justice with Bea Binene and Yasmien Kurdi.

Garcia has since stated that she prefers a variety of leading men as opposed to a single long-term "love team." In the promotions for LSS (Last Song Syndrome), a movie in which her leading man is played by her real-life boyfriend Khalil Ramos, she and Ramos have refused to call themselves a love team.
