Gianna eagerly joined PFP in 2025 and is excited to share and grow alongside the community that raised her. Gianna’s undergraduate studies at Regis University included an emphasis on community food systems where she spent much time in community gardens and living on a zero-waste farm during her second year of studies. These experiences later led her to work at Earthlinks, a community garden and farm in Denver. After working at Earthlinks and receiving her Master Community Gardner certification, Gianna moved to Philadelphia and later Kansas City where she worked at two universities to help students foster meaningful connections to the outdoors. Gianna completed a year of studies in wilderness and horticulture therapy and later received her master’s degree from Palo Alto University in mental health counseling. Gianna’s love for community gardens and spaces is matched by her love for her own garden where she spends early mornings working to grow goodies to enjoy and share.
