Anselm Society Arts Guild, Assistant Director

Gianna is a mountain-dweller and still at heart a Minnesota-lakes girl. She is the giver of peanut butter sandwiches and abundant tickles to two littles, and the owner of too many blue striped shirts. Adventure-hearted, but also a connoisseur of cozy, book-ish evenings; she is delighted by coffee and cocoa but, shockingly, not tea. Amateur wildflower naturalist, picker of wild raspberries, and sunset gazer. Equally fascinated and challenged by the myriad ways that small and steady faithfulness transform a strange place into a home. She is a nonfiction writer, dreamer, wife to Grant, mama to E1 and E2, and more than the sum of her parts, just like you.
