Hi Coaches! My name is Gianna Plavier and I am a defender from New Jersey. I started playing lacrosse when I was eleven years old and instantly fell in love with the sport! Defense became my position because my town rec team had a shortage of defenders, so I stepped up to the challenge, which I quickly realized I found my calling.

I am currently a junior at Indian Hills High School, which I have been playing on the varsity lacrosse team since freshman year. I also have been playing for my club team, Jersey Thunder, since I was in seventh grade. In 2020, I was selected to represent New Jersey at the WPLL Futures Summit; however, it was sadly rescheduled due to the Coronavirus.

In school, I excel in language and history, where I am taking AP English and Honors History and Italian. My current weighted GPA is a 3.73. Playing to my strengths, I aspire to become a paralegal and would most likely major in Sociology, Laws/Ethics, or Political Science.

At school, I participate in Interact Club, Movie Club, Students for Social Justice Club, and was selected to be a part of Heroes and Cool Kids. Since eight grade, I have volunteered at my local church to be an aid in the elementary level religion classes. Outside of school, I have a passion for the arts. I love to see musicals and plays on Broadway, as well as locally. I have helped build the sets and worked in stage crew for my school's performances.
