She began pursuing a Masters in American Studies at Penn State Harrisburg, while working full-time as a Historic Preservation Specialist, then later, an Architectural Designer II with the PA Historical and Museum Commission in Harrisburg. Gina became a mom, and she took some quality time off from my career to raise her family. Eventually, she began to work part-time at the office and part-time at a home office, with an architectural firm in Harrisburg. For over ten years, she was the firm’s preservationist, then later, an Associate. In 2012, with nearly 25 years in the Historic Preservation field, she created Gina M.
