Her partnership as a Parent Involvement Specialist for Warrensville Middle School exhibits her ability to thrive as an advocate in the educational arenas. Salina is proud to serve as a parent representative on Ohio’s State Support Team Three and as a member of University Rainbow, Babies and Children Hospital’s Patient and Family Partnership Council. Being raised by a mother who was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia when Salina was only 12 years old fostered compassion and empathy that she carries with her to this day and allows her to serve with kindness and sensitivity.

Her love for family and fervent desire to positively impact others’ lives and advocate for individuals with special needs and their parents inspired her to create the service organization Mother 2 Mother in 2017 and dedicate her life to bringing education, empowerment and awareness to communities while providing support to special needs families. Salina’s passion for service emerged with the birth of her son Elijiah, who has multiple diagnoses, including autism. Her dedication to service is one of the qualities that draws people to her.

Salina Miller, a recipient of the National Nurses Coalition’s Unsung Heroes Award, is a visionary, a trailblazer, a philanthropist and the epitome of devotion.
