Stitched with heart!
Gina is a Systems Analyst at UPMC whose creative passion comes together one thoughtful stitch at a time. Inspired by her neighbor's quilting and a lifelong admiration for her mom, who could sew just about anything, Gina picked up quilting in January 2022 and quickly fell in love with the craft.
From beginner-friendly rag quilts to more complex traditional designs, quilting has taught Gina patience, problem‑solving, and the value of stepping back when things don’t go as planned.
Each quilt begins with a person in mind. Gina carefully considers their personality, style, and favorite colors before building a design, much like how she approaches her work at UPMC. Focused, detail‑driven, and solution‑oriented, she finds clarity in both fabric and function.
The thoughtfulness, care, and heart Gina brings to her quilting is the same heart she brings to her work and to the UPMC team every day. We’re proud to celebrate her passions—and the creativity and compassion that make her such an important part of our community.
