She actively champions the integration of military-trained professionals into the nursing workforce, recognizing the critical skills and leadership they bring to healthcare.

This initiative has improved health outcomes for more than 2,000 seniors while educating over 300 faculty and students globally. Her efforts exemplify the transformative potential of military nurses and their ability to enhance patient care and drive innovative healthcare solutions.

For over three decades, Dr. Marino maintained clinical practice as a pediatric nurse practitioner and forensic medical examiner, conducting more than 3,000 medical evaluations for child victims of abuse and violence. She has provided expert testimony in over 300 national proceedings.
As a contributor to the U.S. Department of Justice’s publication A National Protocol for Sexual Abuse Medical Forensic Examinations: Pediatric, Dr. Marino set the national standard of care for sexually-abused children.
