<div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q"> <div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">The most important thing about Gina is that she believes deeply in the power of intentional self-improvement, daily personal growth, and leadership. Gina grew up in a family that experienced many hard times and trauma over the years (as well as many good times too, of course). Her extended family has experienced addiction, depression, anxiety, and suicide - all of which have caused significant challenges and disconnection in her family - but deep love and healing blessed them through it all.</span></div> <div dir="auto"> </div> </div> <div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q"> <div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">These life experiences inspired Gina to pursue a lifelong journey in education, leadership growth, and self-development. She attended Arizona State University for her bachelors and master’s degrees in special education, as well as her doctorate in Educational Leadership and Innovation.</span></div> <div dir="auto"> </div> </div> <div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q"> <div dir="auto"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Gina was a public high school teacher for 8 years, and has worked in higher education for about 15 years.
