THE SUN (San Bernardino, Calif.)
INLAND VALLEY DAILY BULLETIN (Ontario, Calif.)
Gina has been at The Sun since March 2003. Hired as a news page designer/copy editor there, Gina regularly designed and proofread pages, edited copy and wrote headlines. But it was her outside-the-box design style on the Local and Business section covers that caught the attention of her editors, and she soon became The Sun's primary front-page and special-projects designer.
In September 2006, Gina's talent and dedication earned her a promotion to Design Editor of The Sun and Inland Valley Daily Bulletin. In addition to her regular duties, Gina also co-authored Girls With Glasses, an Inland Living magazine column and blog, for about a year.

The Sun (San Bernardino, Calif.) and the Redlands Daily Facts.

Gina has been integral to the planning stages of three copy desk merging/relocations in recent years, continually identifying production efficiencies that could be achieved without sacrificing quality, and actually improving it in many cases.
