Gia McLaughlin
Online Academic Success Coordinator, Sr.

Gia was born in New York, raised in Southern California and has resided in Arizona since 2004. Gia holds a bachelor’s degree in organizational leadership and business and a master’s degree in higher education with an emphasis on adult learners.  She worked as an account manager in corporate travel management for 14 years before beginning work in education, her lifelong passion, in 2006. Gia enjoys working in higher education because it allows her to share her many years of corporate experience in tandem with educational theory to support her students, many of whom are non-traditional students. Gia lives in Tempe with her proud Sun Devil alum husband Tim, and in their free time they enjoy global travel, live music, outdoor activities and exploring all that Arizona has to offer.  

“Lifelong education is a passion of mine. Many of my students are returning to college as adults! Supporting non-traditional students is inspiring and proves it is never too late to learn something new!”
