Ms. Gigi Harris is a native Floridian, born at Homestead Air Force Base. She lived in Miami for 30 years and graduated from Florida International University with a BS in Finance and International Business. She moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado, for over seven years, where she earned an MBA with an emphasis in Marketing from the University of Colorado. During her time in Colorado, married and received the greatest blessing of her life—her triplet children, born five weeks after moving back to Florida. Her daughter and two sons were OCS Lifers, attending from K4 through 12th grade, and have all graduated from college in the past three years. Orangewood Church has been her home church since 2001, and she recently celebrated 20 years with Orangewood Christian School as the Finance Director. She is grateful for the wonderful church and school family she has as a result. She loves the beach and considers it the reason she returned from Colorado. Although she found the mountains beautiful and majestic, nothing compares to the vast expanse of the ocean.
