About

Hello! My name is Gianna and I am a Sophomore Undergraduate Student at Marist University in Poughkeepsie, New York! Being able to learn in an enriched environment like Marist is an incredible honor and I am so excited to continue my journey as a student there! I aspire to go abroad to attend Marist's Lorenzo de' Medici campus in Florence, Italy as well as explore opportunities abroad in Paris, France! I am studying Fashion Merchandising with a concentration in Promotion, and when abroad, I plan on immersing myself in the various cultures through which fashion is expressed. Before transferring to Marist, I attended Wake Technical Community College in North Carolina and earned all As for two consecutive semesters. While recognized on Wake Tech's President's List, I also obtained my membership to the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS). Since transferring to Marist, I have been even more involved in the NSLS community by attending immersive leadership-based activities with my peers, as well as speaker broadcasts hosted by industry professionals! Additionally, I have received a certificate from the Emerging Leaders Program (ELP). I currently maintain a 3.86 GPA and I strive to put forth nothing less than my best work in all academic endeavors!
