Gina is an extensively experienced teacher, with a strong background in holistic approaches to senior school education. She is passionate about student-led wellbeing programs and seeking innovative methods to uplift teens to personal accountability and peer advocacy.

​

From a lived experience perspective, Gina’s family business is funeral services, which has involved contracts in context with road trauma and frequent cooperation with Police Services. This has been a powerful motivator behind Gina’s determination to contribute to preventing  avoidable tragedy, using inclusive social-project concepts with young people.

​

In addition to her qualifications as a professional educator, Gina holds a Marketing Degree with Honours.

​

Since her introduction to YOU CHOOSE in 2021, Gina has become a highly energetic community advocate of the mission. As Teacher Support Manager, she provides ongoing analysis and development of the YOU CHOOSE program; and assists teachers to optimise in-class facilitation and delivery.
