5/6/26: Williams Syndrome with Gianna

The Arc of NJ's Gianna Morello talks about Williams Syndrome, her lived experiences, and the link to music in this special webinar event   "Hello, my name is Gianna. I am 28 years old and live in New Jersey. I was diagnosed with Williams Syndrome at the age of two and a half. After graduating from high school in 2016, I attended Centenary University, where I earned an associate’s degree in Liberal Arts. I then continued my education at Ramapo College of New Jersey, where I received a bachelor’s degree in Music Performance. I have had the opportunity to speak at Advertising Week New York multiple times as an advocate for Creative Spirit, an organization dedicated to creating employment opportunities for individuals with intellectual, developmental, and learning disabilities. Music is a central part of my life. I am a drummer and singer, and I have performed at Williams Syndrome and Creative Spirit events. I also serve as a member of the Board of Trustees, where I am proud to contribute my perspective and support the organization’s mission."
