“Brilliant is not a term I often use to describe anyone because I am fortunate enough to be in contact with very intelligent graduate students.  But Gigi is truly the exception!  This woman has started two very successful private schools that have become the model for other schools.  I was on the board of Synapse School, of which she is a co-founder.  Her ability to think outside the box is phenomenal.  Yet her goal always is to create an environment where all children can thrive.”
