Marisa Gaska, a native of San Jose, California, currently serves as the Owner of G&M Shields.Tech, a company committed to creating and distributing Personal Protective Equipment. Raised by migrant farm workers, she would go on to become not only a successful businesswoman, but most importantly, a mother, wife, sister, and community leader. While establishing these titles, both professional and personal, Marisa, an advocate for higher learning, began honing her skills in mathematics and technology. This would eventually allow her to possess a wealth of knowledge in the two areas, which would eventually lead to her journey in business ownership.
