Giovanna was born and raised in Lima, Peru, where she received a bilingual education in English and Spanish. In 2000, while an undergraduate pursuing her Industrial Engineering degree, she visited Aspen during her winter break. She instantly fell in love with the town and its people and decided to make Aspen her home. She began her career in banking, eventually transitioning to luxury hospitality while going back to school to earn a Bachelor of Science in Business Management.
Paving the way for her career opportunities and promotions, she received the 'Club of Excellence: Silver Star Worldwide Award' and by 2020 she was the Director of Services at the Hyatt Residence Club Grand Aspen. In 2020, she knew it was time to put her expertise and personal networks toward a larger passion of hers: helping others materialize their goals. And what better way to do that than through real estate? Thus, she became a Colorado Real Estate Broker and Real Estate Agent. In just a few years, Giovanna proudly says, "I have had the honor to provide my clients with the Real Estate results they expect and deserve. Watching my clients successfully achieve their goals is undoubtedly the most rewarding work I have ever done."
Along with real estate, Giovanna spends her time giving back to the Aspen Valley community that has given her so much over the years. Her philanthropic work mostly focuses on education, health, and housing needs in the valley. Giovanna serves on the Board of Directors for the City of Glenwood Springs Chamber and WindWalkers Equine Assisted Learning and Therapy Center. She is the Founder of the Aspen Board of Realtors® Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee and a member of the Glenwood Springs Chamber Hispanic Business Advisory Committee. Additionally, Giovanna writes monthly educational real estate articles for "Sol del Valle," the first Spanish-language newspaper in the valley. In the past, she has served on the Glenwood Springs Housing Commission and the Colorado Association of REALTORS® Diversity and Inclusion Committee. She also founded and chaired the St. Stephen Catholic School Annual Gala and served as PTA Chair for six consecutive years. Furthermore, she was a committee member for the 'Wine Women and Shoes' and 'Day of Rosé' events, both benefiting the Shining Stars Foundation.
When not out in the community, Giovanna is with her family, who motivates her every day. Her oldest daughter is a Columbia University graduate and now a J.D. Candidate at American University, her son attends Glenwood High School's Air Force JROTC program, and her husband is a Dual General Manager at the Courtyard by Marriott and Residence Inn by Marriott. Their personal successes and support inspire and challenge her every day.
From Aspen to Glenwood Springs and beyond, Giovanna is here to help you achieve all your Real Estate goals!!
