BAY AREA AMBASSADOR
FOR CHANGE LEADER
A natural leader both on and off the field, Gia embodies the balance of academic excellence and athletic achievement at her private college preparatory school in Danville, California. She takes full advantage of the school’s rigorous academic offerings and rich opportunities, distinguishing herself not only as a committed student but also as a compassionate community builder. In her intimate academic environment, where each grade consists of just 80-100 students, Gia is often the first to step up, leading discussions, resolving conflicts, and fostering an inclusive atmosphere where everyone feels safe to share their ideas.
As a varsity and club soccer goalkeeper, playing since age four, Gia has developed into a confident and commanding leader on the field. Her position demands split-second decision-making and extreme focus. As a starter for both teams, she has earned the trust of her coaches and teammates through her consistent performance under pressure and her ability to provide guidance during crucial moments. Gia has become an invaluable asset to both programs.
What truly sets Gia apart is her ability to build genuine relationships across different communities. Whether she's connecting with teammates on the field or engaging with classmates in the halls, she always makes an effort to know each person individually, maintaining authentic friendships within her community.
Girls Soccer Worldwide resonates deeply with Gia's core values of leadership, service, authenticity, and dedication. She sees this program as an opportunity to combine her love for soccer with her passion for mentoring, eager to inspire young girls through their shared love of the sport.
"I achieve spirited leadership." -Gia
