As a child, Gianna's parents battled addiction. Her school age years were a whirlwind of abuse and neglect as a result. She had spent eight years of her life homeless, all while maintaining high marks in school, leadership positions at work, strong relationships, creative talents, and more. At the age of fifteen, Gianna and her three siblings were taken into state custody and put through the foster care system, where she remained until she aged out at eighteen years old. Gianna is a resilient college student majoring in education. She is extremely passionate about her major and will do anything to accomplish her goals; including working three jobs to support herself while in school full-time. Gianna enjoys musicals, education pedagogy, and making friends.
