Gina was an elementary school teacher and then taught her own children at home for several years while running her own business and volunteering with Asians. Teaching for the Asian Affairs Center since 2016 allows Gina to "marry" these two loves: teaching and working with Asians. As the advising coordinator, she enjoys connecting people and welcoming and supporting scholars while they are here. Gina loves spending time with family and friends, hiking, gardening and cooking.
