Marianna Niero · Communications mANAGER

Marianna was born and raised in Venice, Italy, but her French roots led her to spend a few years in Paris before moving to the United States in 2017. She earned a bachelor’s degree in International Trade and a master’s in International Management from Università Ca’ Foscari di Venezia.

A lifelong animal lover, Marianna was thrilled to discover Miami’s incredible wildlife when she moved here. Her passion for animals—especially wild ones—and her dedication to conservation led her to join PHSS first as an outside and clinic volunteer, and now as Communications Manager. In this role, she helps connect people to the organization’s work with wildlife and inspires others to care for the natural world.

In her downtime, Marianna finds joy in boxing, a sport she loves for its artistry, intensity, and ability to keep her grounded.
