From a young age Marina knew she was destined for a career in orthodontics. After graduating the Registered Dental Assisting Program at the Santa Rosa Junior College in 1993 she practiced orthodontics for about a decade prior to earning a degree in Hospitality Management from Le Cordon Bleu at the California Culinary Academy, in San Francisco. Working as a wine country concierge for some prominent properties in Napa & Sonoma. Viewing the pandemic as a blessing in disguise she returned to a career she adores in orthodontics. Marina still enjoys filling in, as needed, at Olea Hotel (rated #2 in US on Yelp!) Marina resides in Petaluma with her husband Brook (whom she met in Kindergarten) and their two @wondertwindoodles, Roxy & Marley. Aside from spending time with her doodles Marina enjoys baking, rollerskating, and fabulous food and wine experiences with friends.
