Gigi started her professional career in the theatre (behind the scenes.) Deciding she'd had enough of "Life Upon the Wicked Stage", she became a corporate event planner in New York City. She eventually decided she wanted to use her event planning powers for good and became the Director of Special Events at Goddard Riverside Community Center, where she planned the New York Book Fair for ten years. This led her to becomming a passionate fundraiser and storyteller.
