She was also designated as a Distinguished Military Graduate (DMG) while being commissioned into the United States Army as a Second Lieutenant in the Finance Corps. She served in the U.S. Army as a Finance Officer from 2001 to 2008, serving in multiples capacities such as Detachment Executive Officer and Disbursing Officer for the 126th Finance Battalion in South Korea, Army Element Commander and Chief of Operations Division at the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) in Orlando, Deputy Comptroller for 5th Special Forces Group and Comptroller for the Iraqi Special Operations Forces while deployed in Iraq, and Financial Management Company Commander at Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) at Fort Bragg. After ending her term of service as a Captain, she was sought after to become a site lead and project manager for a Defense Contractor, where she opened a site in Alaska, set up operations and procedures, and hired and trained the staff to complete the mission. Additionally, she was responsible for the establishment, implementation and data migration of a central platform (Salesforce.com) for use by multiple offices.
Nina is passionate and driven to learn and help others heal. Physical pain was a significant part of her life since 2006 and following her time in Alaska, her journey to heal herself and help others do the same led her to become a Certified Rolfer, Licensed Massage Therapist, Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Corporate Wellness Specialist, Certified Yoga Teacher, and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach. She also opened a healthy food truck, Thrive Street Eats, in attempt to provide the healing foods that she recommended and couldn’t find nearby. She recognized that her passion to heal others was a stronger personal passion, and therefore, she decided to pursue another passion of Real Estate as a career.
Nina's thoughts, talents and experience of successes and failures have all led her to where she is at this moment in her career. She is a proud Veteran and out to helps others whenever she can.
