Ms. Giordano (Ms. G) lives for cultivating the potential of our special needs students! She was born in England to a military family and subsequently moved a lot as a child. Eventually, they settled in Southern California where she spent 20+ years working with the Blind Children's Center, Jr. Blind Foundation and 5 Acres Home for Children. She received her Bachelors Degree from the University of Southern California (USC) and holds two Masters Degrees- Special Education (GCU) and an MBA in Entrepreneurship (Pepperdine). She holds a certificate in Special Education and a Financial Literature Endorsement.

Her family enjoys many outdoor adventures together including zip-lining, paragliding, long bike rides, camping and hiking. Her youngest is 15 and she dreads becoming an empty nester. Her most recent accomplishment is a 54 mile bike ride through Bryce Canyon National Park. Her favorite treats are dark chocolate with almonds, lemon or pineapple Larabars and just about every fruit (minus guavas). Ms. G also helps with the MathCounts after school program here at Dixie Intermediate School.
