Gina has taught in the U.S., Japan, Morocco, and Indonesia as an elementary homeroom teacher as well as an EAL/DLI specialist. She is currently teaching and developing a bilingual program within an established international school in Switzerland.

Her role on the Governance Committee is focused on ensuring that educational best practices are understood and maintained throughout development of the application. The main aim of the applicaiton is to create better learning outcomes for students across the world and in order to achieve this educators will need more support.

Her vast experience of having taught in many countries around the world will prove invaluable to helping create a truly internationalised application.
