Gina is the founder and executive director of the survivor-led nonprofit organization, We RISE NJ, formerly Paying it Forward Foundation. Her commitment stems from her experience as a survivor of childhood sexual and physical abuse and of human trafficking. It is also rooted in her determination to ensure that no one else should endure the same trauma. Gina’s impact can be found throughout the New Jersey legislative process, within organizations that support human trafficking causes, and in the personal stories of the survivors who have been inspired by Gina’s story.
Gina's moving story, and inspiring leadership has transformed our organization. We are not only now survivor informed, but have a powerful advocate who is just as comfortable speaking to elected officials as to school children, and changing lives as she does so.
