Gina Cordero
Faculty-out-of-Residence, Clinical Instructor
Gina earned her BS in Athletic Training at Boise State University, with a minor in American Sign Language at Boise State University.
If Gina wasn’t on the blue, she was roaming the halls, creating activities and spending time with students and faculty in thriving and learning programs. As a first year, Gina lived in the Health Professionals Community. That year changed her life, and made her want to give back and focus on the program and helping students feel at home, find their place, get involved, and make connections. She spent her final four years working as a program assistant and teacher assistant for the leadership community. After graduation Gina accepted an Athletic Training Job within the health care system and working with Orthopedics and Sports Medicine. She is eager to get back to her passion of connecting students to the college and community.
When she is not working she enjoys spending time with family and friends. She enjoys being with her partner Turner, dog (Goose) and 3 kitties (Lulu, Juju, and Peanut). You will most likely see her with Goose or Lulu on campus. She enjoys sports, camping, and spending money on Amazon! She will most likely be working on her next craft project.
