About Me
~Photo Taken 2011 by Bree Prince, Gemma’s cousin
Gemma is passionate about living every day as a content and happy human being. She brings warmth and care everywhere she goes, but is a profound perfectionist, not resting until a job is done, and done well.
In her professional life, she works every day with the same high drive and determination. She started off her work career in fall of 2009 and created a full-time math tutoring business within months. In summer of 2010, she decided that a steady job was more her speed and found a receptionist position at a musical theater school in Hollywood. Musical Theater had been one of her greatest passions, so being in this environment was amazing. But soon, the evening hours got to her and she decided it was time to look for a 9-5 day job that would fit her routine-oriented self. What she found was utter perfection. A receptionist position at the corporate office of the famous fitness brand, “Body By Jake.”
Because of her passion, she didn’t stay simply the “receptionist” for long. The Vice President, the Marketing Director, and Jake himself, started to give Gemma many different tasks to complete, all of which she finished with flying colors - running test orders, creating an entire binder-sized report on supplement manufacturers and vitamins themselves, and most recently, creating the company’s Twitter, Facebook, and Linkedin accounts, which she updates daily. There is simply not a lot that Gemma can’t do.
After working at “Body By Jake” for 10 months, Gemma was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, at the age of 23. This made her re-examine her life and her goals and mad her decide that she had finally discovered that she wanted a career, not just a job. And that career would be in healthcare. The was, and still is, so passionately involved with her own Diabetes treatment that she hopes to one day become a Registered Nurse and to treat others and inspire others to take charge of their own health.
In February of 2012, she started as a Pre-Nursing student at Santa Monica College and plans to apply to an accelerated nursing program which would begin in 2013.
In her personal life, she has 5 main passions that propel her forward day to day:
1) Music - she is composing a full-length original musical, and enjoys recording multi-layer choral works. She has participated in Eric Whitacre’s two most recent virtual choirs, which have performed his compositions “Sleep” and “Water Night.”
2) Personality Typing - she enjoys learning about Jungian Cognitive Functions and The Enneagram and sharing her love of typing with others. She is a 1w9INFJ. He mom and dad are 9w1 ENFP and 3w4 INFJ respectively, and her very best friend in the world is 9w1 ISFP.
3) Health and Medicine - Gemma is working each and every day on her dream of becoming a Registered Nurse. To help people and to be able to administer complicated treatments is something she so looks forward to. She also donates all she can to charities to help those she cannot directly help. Her charities of choice range from those helping abused animals and children, to those giving relief to victims of tragedies, to those fighting homelessness and those searching for cures for cancer and other diseases.
4) Genealogy - preserving her family history is something that excites and motivates Gemma. She has located and reached out to cousins that she has never met and has spent countless hours with her Grandparents, having them help her complete her family tree.
5) Her friends and family - Her friends and family keep her afloat and are the rays of sunshine in her life. She cherishes every moment with them.
