Marsha Northrop
Director of Operations
Marsha, a 3rd generation native of Tampa, joined Aging Care Advocates as our Director of Operations in January, 2021. In her role, Marsha serves as the point person between our Aging Life Care Professionals, clients, families and business partners in the community. When a prospective family is needing assistance with their loved one, Marsha steps in to identify the physical, emotional, medical and financial needs, then works closely with our owner to best match one of our Aging Life Care Professionals to the unique needs for that client's situation.
Prior to joining our team, Marsha had a successful financial services career. She held numerous leadership & operational roles, for Barnett Bank, SunTrust and Regions Wealth Management, spanning over 25 years, in West Florida. Beyond Marsha's professional experience, is her valuable first-hand insight as the primary caregiver for her mother, with Alzheimer's disease, where she had to navigate her mother's care needs alone for over 7 years.
Marsha has served on the Finance Committee for United Way, as well as several religious organizations. She has volunteered with Metropolitan Ministries, Habitat for Humanity, Hillsborough County Schools, and is an active with the Walk to End Alzheimer's annually.
Marsha is married, with a daughter finishing her nursing degree at UCF and twin boys - a custom welder and the other who serves in the US Coast Guard. When asked what she loves most about her role, she would say "it is a blessing to help families navigate what she walked through and more importantly, offer them reassurance, they are not alone and we will be right by their side".
