Gianna Does It All

or at least she tries to…

As a neurodivergent woman, I’ve embraced the beauty of juggling multiple passions rather than committing to just one. My journey into motherhood inspired me to cultivate a diverse ecosystem of projects and clients, both long and short-term.

From fitness instructing to catering events, helping you strategize your social media plan to advocating for sustainable agriculture - I care deeply about everything I do.

I’m excited to connect with you and share this journey together!

join me on June 25th

Hi, I’m

Gianna

I’m a born-and-raised Jersey Girl who left the Garden State to attend Boston University, where I studied marketing and statistics. After eight years in Boston and a career in data analytics, I moved to NYC to pursue my dream of becoming a chef.

I attended the Institute of Culinary Education, volunteered at the James Beard House, and worked at Michelin-Starred Blue Hill NY before becoming a full-time private chef for a family.

In September 2020, I landed in Richmond and instantly fell in love with the food scene and everything the River City has to offer!

In addition to my work as a Private Chef, I’m a certified nutritionist, brand strategist, fitness instructor with Fit4Mom Richmond, and a culinary instructor at The Kitchen Classroom. I also serve as the President of the Delta Gamma Richmond Alumnae Chapter, founder of Social Club RVA, and Community Director for the Richmond chapter of Ladies Lifestyle Network.

My favorite place to be is the farmers market, so it’s fitting that I became the 2023 and 2024 resident Chef at the Market for non-profit RVAgriculture.

Hire me to cater a special dinner in your home, join your yoga retreat as a resident chef or teach a private class. I have availability in both NYC and RVA, and book 3-4 travel jobs per year.
From content creation to developing your marketing strategy, I am your girl! With over a decade of strategy experience, I can help you elevate your brand whether you are looking for a rebrand or a partner to create captivating Instagram Reels.
