Tarina's passions are politics, women's issues and reproductive rights. Becoming the executive director of NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia is the culmination of a lifetime goal to merge her passion and her career. Growing up in the coalfields of Virginia, she understands how poverty and disparity in healthcare especially affect women. She is committed to rectifying this inequity through NPCV’s work to ensure that the women of Virginia have access to reproductive healthcare, family planning and abortion no matter where they live in the state or their socioeconomic status.
Tarina has a B.A. in Media Studies and B.A. in Political Science from Radford University and a Master’s of Public Administration from Old Dominion University. Currently, she resides in Alexandria with her husband Jason and three cats.
