Marissa Cina serves as the Director of Publishing for Planting Roots. She is an Army soldier, an English teacher, writer, speaker, and women’s Bible study leader. Wherever there are women in community seeking God, she wants to be there!

Her ‘no-fail missions’ are serving as a wife to her Army husband and mama to her gift-from-God-child.

She believes friendship is sacred work.

Marissa holds degrees from West Point and CU Boulder, and is in the process of earning her PhD in English from Catholic University in D.C. She is always willing to talk about writing. Or reading. Or poetry. She believes we are designed to create and loves to cheer on aspiring artists. Words in any form are her passion, but most especially The Word and its transformative impact on a human life.
