Marina was born and raised in the London borough of Hounslow and has lived in the borough for a large majority of her life. She was honoured to have been elected as Councillor for Brentford East, as she was schooled in Brentford and her family can be traced back generations who also lived in Brentford.
Marina has a social care background and this enables her to understand complex issues that local residents may encounter and how best to support them.
