A recognized educator, Gina has also served as a Certified Law Enforcement Instructor for 20 years, training law enforcement and legal professionals on the nuances of intimate partner violence laws and procedures under “The Prevention of Domestic Violence Act of 1991.” Her dedication to systemic change and education extends to academia, where she continues to serve as a college adjunct instructor teaching diverse criminal justice curricula.
