Giovanna has been blessed (maybe cursed?) with a name that has so many different pronunciations that she rather just be called Gigi. Born in São Paulo, Brazil, she grew up in sunny Salvador by the sea. She's a rising sophomore part of the Steinhardt class of 2020 majoring in Media, Culture, and Communications. When not exploring the various Italian restaurants in New York City, Gigi works as the Executive Producer for WNYU’s podcast “Talking Series-ly” and is a member of the Social Media Team at the Washington Square News. When it’s too cold to be reading at the Park, Gigi can be found at Kimmel’s 8th floor reminiscing when the weather was nicer with a pile of Roland Barthes books. In her free time, Gigi aims for weekly trips to the cinema, but is most often found writing for Affinity Magazine, The Kraze Magazine or hosting web-radio shows. Gigi is incredibly excited to meet the Class of 2021 and help the newest MCC freshmen find their place at NYU as quickly as she did!
