GiGi opened her first business, GiGi’s Dance Academy upon graduating from high school in 2003, scaling it while earning her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Anthropology at Florida International University. Since then GiGi’s Academy has been ranked Top 3 Dance Studios in their city for multiple years, won local and national dance competitions and offered a safe place for youth to grow and create lifelong memories and friendships.

It was during the pursuit for her Masters Degree in Communications that her life shifted entirely. She was working mornings as a radio host, evenings as a sports reporter, all while excelling in grad school, until the stress and exhaustion led her to an ER after losing her sight while driving. 

It was then that GiGi realized that the HUSTLE was not the way to the top and that success doesn’t come from “doing all the things.” She learned how to create a customized blueprint with the type of action steps that get you farther, faster, with less burnout.

After a lot of inner work and learning, GiGi became a Certified Life Coach, specializing in Mindset and Happiness Studies. She founded her coaching business, Seizing Happy® and created her signature program the 3Rs System: Reevaluate, Restructure, Reset your Life for Success with Less Stress. GiGi’s coaching has helped women heal their relationship with money, create more abundance and joy, boost their confidence and switch their mindset from HUSTLER to CEO so they can finally thrive in life and business.
