Gina was born and raised in Albany, NY. She considers her faith and her family to be the most important things to her. After receiving a cancer diagnosis at the age of forty-two, she found herself even more immersed in her faith and being of service to others who have also been diagnosed. Her inspirational message and love for people can be found throughout every community that knows her. She has participated in various charity events and is always ready and willing to help someone going through health or marital circumstances. Gina has truly made her mess her message.
At a very young age, Gina cultivated a love for music and helping her friends and family. If she wasn't working in the family business, you could find her playing classical piano or volunteering her musical talents for her high school's chorus and theatrical performances. Gina's passion for music led her to pursue her Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees from The College of St. Rose, and she later became a music teacher. She enjoyed being a cheerleader throughout high school and college where she met some of her lifelong friends. Gina married her husband Alex in 1999 and decided to stay home and be a mom to their three children, Julia, Bella, and Olivia, starting in 2001, with that role being her proudest achievement and divine purpose in life.
She currently resides in Albany with her husband Alex, her three college-aged daughters, and their dogs Leo and Knox. Why is This Happening to Me? is Gina’s first book.
