Traci Marino

I have been practicing Martial Arts for 22 years with 10 years experience in Tae Kwon Do where I hold a 2nd Degree Black Belt.  I have 12 years experience in Shorin-Ryu * Shorinkan.  In the past, I competed twice internationally on the United States World Karate Team.  I have trained with National and World Champions and studied boxing with a Golden Gloves Champion.

I have an MBA from Babson College and a Bachelor Degree in Economics from Boston University.  I currently work at the South Shore YMCA as an Instructor teaching both children and adults.  I also volunteer for its Partnership Program and the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts.  I have a basic knowledge of American Sign Language and continue to take classes taught by a certified ASL interpreter.

This has been a long-time interest for me and is now an integral part of my life.  I sincerely enjoy working with students to help them achieve goals for their personal and professional lives.
