My full name is Gina Marie Agosta. I was born and raised in southern Oregon and moved back after graduating from the [University of Portland](http://www.up.edu) with a B.A. in English and a B.S. in Organizational Communication.
> [!info] Fun Fact
> I don't have a middle name - Gina Marie is my first name, no hyphen. My parents made up for it by giving my younger brother two middle names!
After college I began my career in the nonprofit field, serving as the Executive Director of Coalition for Kids for ten years. In 2016, I transitioned to the world of healthcare and joined the administration team at [Asante Three Rivers Medical Center.](http://www.asante.org) I recently graduated from [Gonzaga University](http://www.gonzaga.edu) with a Master's in Organizational Leadership.
Outside of work I am actively engaged in my community. I have been a member of the [Rogue Gateway Rotary Club](http://www.roguegateway.org) since 2009 and am currently (2022-23) serving my second term as club president. <span class = "rightimg">![[Lily & Snoopy.jpg|300]]</span> I grew up practically living at the Grants Pass branch of the public library and now proudly serve as an elected member of the [Josephine Community Library District.](http://www.josephinelibrary.org)
When I'm not working or volunteering, I'm usually spending time at home with my dogs (Lily and Snoopy), or hanging out with my parents, and my brother.
