Nina Insinna

About Me

Nina has enjoyed a diverse career background with a decade in advertising sales, assisting individuals to grow their business; then teaching – helping individuals to grow personally. It has always been her passion. Volunteering is a big part of community outreach, where Nina tutored adults as a member of the Literacy Council of Sarasota for several years, later serving as board member and president.

She was a longstanding member of Toastmaster's International, where she honed not only her speaking skills, but learned how to listen and encourage fellow members. Nina won several awards for speech competition throughout Florida.

Florida has been home for most of her life and she enjoys being in, on, or near the water. Last year she was thrilled to dive Australia's Great Barrier Reef and plans to do more international traveling/diving in the future.
