Background on Gia:

The 23-year-old signed with the Wave in January 2025, coming to the Club from TSG Hoffenheim Frauen, and quickly made her name known in the league scoring four minutes into her Wave debut against Angel City.

She was originally born in Tacoma, Wa. and moved to Germany when she was three years old and had lived there ever since making the move to San Diego. She's played for German Youth National teams, including two youth World Cups, as well as for Bayern Munich's academy team.

Off the pitch, Gia is known for her elite dance moves, swaggy tooth gems and tattoos, love for dogs and infectious personality.
