Bio

Gina has been in the field of Early Childhood Education for 20 years. With a Bachelor‘s Degree in Early Childhood Education from Florida State University, the bulk of her experience has been in working with preschool age children.  As a CLASS Specialist at Teachstone, Gina now gets the pleasure of training others on the CLASS tool.  From Intros to MMCI, and everything else in between, she is excited to share the knowledge of CLASS with teachers and coaches.  Before coming to Teachstone, Gina was a first grade, kindergarten and preschool teacher, a preschool director, and later an instructional coach for early childhood educators.  

When she is not traveling around the country delivering trainings for Teachstone, Gina enjoys spending time with her two daughters, Kayla and Lucy, going to the beach or pool, or enjoying one of the many sights in sunny south Florida. In her free time, she also enjoys running. She has completed 12 half marathons, and eventually one day hopes to complete a full marathon.
