Marina Nelson

Growing up in a family that moved often and then marrying into a military family, Marina has constantly had to adapt to differing circumstances, constant changes, and new places. Through her experiences in the military community, Marina realized there was need to support not only the brave men and women who serve our country but also the families that stand behind them. Her platform “Strengthening Our Military Family” highlights a path to empowerment and resources that can help military families root themselves and grow each time they move. As an advocate for the National Military Family Association and several other military charities, Marina works to increase opportunities for military spouse support and employment, grow mental health resiliency initiatives, provide veteran transition services, and improve military families through better housing and financial services.
