As a licensed esthetician, Gina’s true passion is skin care. This love for the industry started long before graduating from the esthetics program at P&B Cosmetology Centre. Gina dealt with her own skin problems as a teenager, so helping teens to better understand their skin is a matter close to her heart. She is very intuitive to the special skin con­cerns facing people throughout life’s journey.

The last five years, Gina has been co-owner/operator of a successful spa in Linwood, specializing in all facial treatments, make-up, and waxing. Her make-up artistry has appeared in national magazines as well as many beautiful brides on their special day. In November 2008, Gina will be joining Dr. Nicola DeLorio as Spa Director at Accent Aesthetics Medical and Laser Day Spa in Galloway. She is very excited about this new endeavor, and hopes to further enlighten her clients with all the medical options available in her new setting.

Gina currently resides in Snug Harbor with her husband, Peter, along with their two dogs. She is very close and proud of her son Jeffrey as well as being the adored Aunt Gigi to her neph­ews and nieces.
