Career
Early career
Gamez began skating in 2005 in Florida. She started as a singles skater before switching to pairs.[3] Gamez teamed up with Griffin Schwab in pairs from the 2015–16 season. In their first season, they earned the novice silver medal at the 2016 U.S. Championships. Gamez/Schwab finished ninth in juniors at the 2017 U.S. Championships before splitting.[3]
2017–2018 season
Gamez teamed up with Spanish skater Tòn Cónsul to represent Spain. They competed at two Junior Grand Prix events, finishing 11th in Zagreb and 13th in Gdańsk. Gamez/Cónsul then won the 2018 Spanish junior national title and the 2018 Mentor Toruń Cup. They ended the season with a 13th-place finish at the 2018 World Junior Championships.[4]
Gamez/Cónsul split after he left skating at the end of the season.[5] Gamez did not have a partner for the 2018–19 season.
2019–2020 season
Gamez began representing the Philippines in a new pair with Canadian skater David-Alexandre Paradis. Gamez/Paradis competed at three Challenger Series events, becoming the first Filipino and Southeast Asian pair to compete in an International Skating Union competition.[6] They then finished seventh at Volvo Open Cup. Gamez/Paradis also earned the technical minimums for the 2020 Four Continents Championships to become the first Filipino and Southeast Asian pair to compete at an ISU Championship. They finished ninth at Four Continents. Gamez/Paradis concluded their season with an 11th-place finish at the Challenge Cup.[7]
