Gia Vimal (she/her) is a current sophomore at Mountain House High School, California. She joined GENup because she was inspired by how other teens of her age were stepping up and finding ways to solve the issues in our society today and wanted to do her part as well. Gia partakes in the Model UN and Speech and Debate chapters at her school and is also the vice president of Youth Advocacy Against Tobacco, a student-founded coalition in the bay area which aims to find ways to spread awareness about tobacco.  In her free time, Gia loves writing, thrifting, video editing, scrapbooking, and roller-blading.
