A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Gianna Demino, and I’m so proud to have started my school’s DECA chapter in my sophomore year. Since then, our chapter has grown to over 300 members, and helping so many students get involved and succeed has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my DECA journey.

Outside of DECA, I love giving back by volunteering at my church and in my community, and I also participate in Teen Court, an experience that’s strengthened my passion for justice and advocacy.

I hope to become an attorney one day so I can give others a voice in a court of law, and I bring that same commitment to service, fairness, and empowerment into everything I do!

Gianna in DECA!
