Marina Welch


Marina Welch is a full-time mental health nurse whose passion for women’s issues led her to volunteer as the captain of the Tampa/Hillsborough chapter of Women’s March Florida beginning in November of 2016. She is inspired by the women in her life, beginning with her mother who showed her that every human being deserves respect and kindness. She continues to be inspired by the women she encounters at work and through her affiliation with Women's March Florida. Marina believes it is the people who can make the country and the world better by being more accepting and embracing differences.
 
In her spare time, Marina enjoys traveling and experiencing new cultures. She has toured countries in Europe and South America, and is planning her next adventure which includes visiting all the National Parks. Marina was born in Frankfurt, Germany and is a U.S. naturalized citizen.
