Rep. Ginal is a master naturalist for the City of Fort Collins, and cares deeply about preserving the special places that make Colorado a nationally-recognized place to retire, buy a home, start a business or receive an education. She has worked in the biological and medical fields for more than 20 years as a scientist with a focus in pharmacology, in research and most recently as a medical science liaison in medical affairs.

Rep. Ginal was raised in a working-class family. Her father was a police officer for more than 25 years. Her mother stayed at home, raising three children, and was a dedicated community volunteer. Her parents taught her the values of honesty, hard work, and the importance of giving back.

Rep. Ginal earned a B.S. in biology from the University of New Hampshire, a master’s degree in zoology from Iowa State University and a doctorate in reproductive endocrinology from Colorado State University.

Rep. Ginal is dedicated to helping Colorado families get good-paying jobs and improve Colorado’s economy through investments in renewable energy, biotech, aerospace and information technology. And she understands that a good public education system is a vital component of a strong economy.
