Now that she has joined the Good Shepherd Community Clinic, she is excited to continue to offer quality health care.
Gina and her husband Jeff have always loved to serve. She not only does this in her family practice but also by doing mission work.

Gina served on the YW8 board from 2012-2014. She is currently a member of the Board of Trustees for Oak Hall Episcopal School.
On her down time, Gina enjoys spending time with family, traveling, reading, and exploring new cultures and food.
