President
Hi, I’m Gina Tersini, my partner is Nick Rumph! I grew up outside of San Francisco and went to Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles. After graduating, I began working in marketing for an apparel brand. Nick and I met in Los Angeles while he was in the Air Force. He’s originally from South Carolina, so Pittsburgh has been a new adventure for both of us.
Outside of school and work, you can usually find us traveling, trying new restaurants, or spending time with our Tepper friends!
VP of Marketing
Hi, I’m Brooke Carroll and my partner is Logan Foster! I grew up outside of Boston, MA and went to the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. After graduating, I began working in marketing/recruiting for a start up telehealth company called NOCD and am still there 4 years later! Logan and I met in Charlotte, NC. He’s originally from Fox Chapel, a Pittsburgh suburb, so this has been a homecoming for Logan and a new adventure for me! It’s been very helpful having someone who knows their way around this city — I still need a GPS!
Outside of school and work, you can find us on a walk with our dog, cooking a new recipe or baking something sourdough, or spending time with our Tepper friends!
VP of Finance
Hi, I’m Nicole Schumacher and my partner is Landin Delaney! I grew up in Orange County in Southern California and went to San Diego State University. I worked in Medical Device Sales and am now in nursing school at Duquesne University! Landin and I met in San Diego while he was in the Marine Corps. We moved to Pittsburgh together for both of us to go back to school. Landin is from Pittsburgh so it has been nice to have him show me around and have his family close by!
Outside of school, you can find us out running, trying a new coffee spot, planning our next trip, or hanging with Tepper friends :)
Executive VP
Howdy! I’m John Giles and my partner is Kissa Gakou (yes, I’m American— from Alabama— and she’s African). I went to University of Alabama in Huntsville for a bachelor’s and masters in Mechanical Engineering. We met in North Carolina, where I moved when I first started working at Collins Aerospace. I got bored with mechanical, and now work remotely at Collins as a Principal Data Analytics Engineer.
We like books, board games, and seeing new places. Outside of work & school, we’re usually hanging out with our friends or catching up on our shows 😄.
Social Chair
Hi, I’m Natalie Polito, and my partner is Levi Pingrey! I’m a Pennsylvania native, originally from Reading. I went to Pitt for undergrad (H2P!) and then attended physical therapy school at Wheeling Jesuit University in West Virginia. I’ve lived all over the country practicing PT, but most recently in Colorado Springs, Colorado, where Levi and I met before moving back to Pittsburgh together. Levi and I met when he was stationed at Fort Carson in the Army. He’s originally from Iowa, so I’ve been getting to show him around Pennsylvania!
Outside of work, you can find us traveling both in the U.S. and abroad, playing with our dog Otis, spending time with Tepper friends, and trying new Pittsburgh restaurants!
