Tatiana Marinho - Knowledge Grounds

Public Health, Nutrition & Health Promotion Specialist

“Being a strong leader is only possible when you are committed to being a good human first.”

Born in Brazil, Tatiana moved to Australia in 2010 and experienced the full brunt of an immigrant life.

Adjusting to the culture, learning a new language and experiencing hardships while trying to succeed in her chosen career, and without adequate support systems, this gave Tatiana an extra edge of determination and passion.

Tatiana has been an athlete from a young age and followed her passion for sports and health sciences.

After a busy academic career Tatiana has established herself as a dedicated Public Health Specialist and Health Promoter. For the past 10 years Tatiana has gained vast experience working alongside a number of Indigenous and Traditional communities around the world. Her passion lies in elevating Traditional Knowledge Systems, bringing modern science and Ancient Wisdom together to improve the health and wellbeing of communities.

As most immigrants trying to make ends meet while struggling to find jobs suited to their experience, Tatiana spreads her wings to a number of different career endeavours. From lifeguarding and coaching sports to being one of the main executives in a large international supplement company. Alongside her husband, Tatiana has also developed, owned and managed successful businesses including a health clinic and a Brazilian inspired healthy food business. In 2026, along with her PhD program, Tatiana is investing her time in her consultancy business along with some exciting cultural trading opportunities.
