Gina

Gina

Whether the topic be milking a cow, baiting a hook, Pale Ale, lipstick or an Excel spreadsheet, Gina will have the answer or at least a very informed opinion of it!

Her love of life and the wildlife, combined with her sense of adventure and ability as an outdoors-woman, make her both a phenomenal travel companion as well as the perfect person to ask for assistance or advice in this regard. She can not only talk the talk in the office, but walks the walk on the wild side better than any!
