Marina Batista
Practice Manager
Located in Karratha
Marina is originally from Brazil and has spent the last eight years embracing life in Karratha. Her days are filled with the simple joys of reading, spending quality time with her husband, and enjoying the company of their beautiful Weimaraner. As a devoted coffee lover, you can often find Marina savouring a cup while soaking up the sun at the beach or exploring the outdoors.
In addition to her love for nature and coffee, she has a passion for music, and dabbles in fashion and cooking. On my days off, you’ll likely find her in the kitchen, whipping up delicious meals or baking treats to share with friends.
After several years in the childcare industry, Marina decided to shift careers and was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to work with Pilbara Therapy Services. For the past two years she has enjoyed a fulfilling role focused on ensuring that our day-to-day operations run smoothly. You might catch her at the front desk, where she loves to engage with our clients and contribute to the warm, welcoming atmosphere of our team.
