Gina Roston was born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Her vivid imagination and need to explore people and places outside her realm led her to study abroad at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art for a summer and then backpack alone throughout Europe visiting 11 countries and numerous cities. It was during this trip that her eyes and heart became opened to the history, people, struggles and joys of the world and as a result she came to the conclusion that the pursuit of one’s dreams was the only path to walk in life.
