She attended LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts and would later enroll in the famed Fashion Institute of Technology, and later decided to take her talents out west to USC where she graduated Cum Laude with a BFA. After graduation, Gigi wasn't quite done and is currently pursuing an M.S. in Innovation Design, Business & Technology from USC's Iovine and Young Academy.
When she was just 11 years old, Gigi was diagnosed with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, a connective tissue disorder that leaves her very susceptible to injury. She has used her chronic illness as fuel for her passion for advocacy. Along with chronic illness advocacy, Gigi is also extremely passionate about mental health and body image. Having suffered from both in her teenage years, she strives to be a role model for the next generation, speaking directly to them via social media, and podcasts, as well as numerous panels at colleges, high schools, and multiple nonprofit organization seminars. Though Gigi is a very busy girl, she always makes time for her family, which includes her 15year-old dog, Zoey. She also enjoys yoga, photography, swimming, and yummy Vegan food!
She creates, educates, and speaks about what's important to her lifestyle, mental health, body image, and chronic illness. She is a seasoned photographer with 10+ years of experience creating assets for leading brands. She is passionate about collaborating and producing content for non-profits to expand my impact globally.
