Gina was born and raised in Rochester, New York, as part of a large Italian family before moving to Phoenix for high school and college. She later attended Cal State Northridge, where she studied physical therapy and played college softball. Over the years, Gina built an extensive career in healthcare, working as a physical therapy aide, serving as an EMT during the 1984 Los Angeles Summer Olympics, and spending 18 years at Mayo Clinic and Mayo Clinic Hospital. She also pursued studies in Forensic Science at Grand Canyon University and lived in San Diego for nearly a decade, where she cared for her mother while working at a hospital with an unforgettable ocean view.

Gina has always gravitated toward service-oriented work in hospital settings, which makes her transition into the legal field both surprising and rewarding. She considers her current role to be the most fulfilling and dynamic position she has ever held.

Outside of work, Gina enjoys hiking Pinnacle Peak and exploring trails throughout the Valley of the Sun. A lifelong sports enthusiast, she still hopes to return to competitive racquetball. She also loves cooking Italian food and is on a mission to perfect her grandmother’s meatball recipe, though she admits her brother still has the edge when it comes to making sauce.
