Gia Susi is a native of Milton, Massachusetts. After attending Providence College for a B.S. in business management, she followed her lifelong dream of moving to New York City, where she went back to school to become a teacher. She obtained a master’s degree in early education while working at a school in Brooklyn. Gia eventually made her way back to Massachusetts, taking on a new role as an ESL teacher at an elementary school in Somerville. Gia’s most recent role is her most challenging but favorite job yet, stay-at-home-mom to her three-year-old son, Enzo, and one-year-old daughter, Chiara. Gia enjoys music, playing the drums, reading, and being an active member of many local mom’s clubs. She is currently learning Italian. She wrote her first children’s book, “When the World Feels a Little Scary,” published in May.
