Gina has a broad background in media and government including reporting and anchoring the news at Mobile’s WKRG-TV, WSFA-TV in Montgomery, AL, WCJB-TV in Gainesville, FL, and WJXT-TV in Jacksonville, FL. Gina’s experience in government extends to the state level. She served as the Associate Director for the Alabama Petroleum Council in Montgomery, as a Public Affairs Representative and Lobbyist. As the Associate Director, Gina represented companies doing business in the state, she was a member of the Business Council of Alabama and participated in regional and national legislative conferences.

Gina grew up in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida where she attended Choctawhatchee High School, and has just been named to the school’s Hall of Fame. Gina is a proud University of Florida Gator with a degree in Broadcast Journalism and a minor in Political Science.
