Born in Kansas, Giana has lived her entire life as an "Army Brat" moving to a new place virtually every year. Youngest of three and the only girl, Giana grew up playing sports but also had a strong interest in the visual arts, mainly drawing and painting. It wasn't until high-school, however, that she discovered her passion for acting and film. Giana also graduated with honors from the University of Central Florida where she received her Bachelor's degree in Economics.
