Alderwoman Dimitrijevic's Biography

Marina Dimitrijevic was born and raised in Milwaukee and is a proud graduate of the Milwaukee Public Schools system. She attended Marquette University where she received degrees in political science and Spanish (in which she is fluent), and then proceeded to earn a Master of Science in Nonprofit Management and Leadership from UW-Milwaukee.

Wanting to give back to Milwaukee’s South Side, Marina began her career in public service in 2004 when she became the youngest women ever to be elected to the Milwaukee County Board. She was re-elected four times which included being named the second female to serve as Chairwoman of the County Board.

Marina made the decision to run for Alderwoman of the city’s 14th District because she believes in the potential of Milwaukee, and is eager to continue being a champion for working families, better environmental practices, fair housing and more.

Marina is involved in her community outside of the office where she is an active member of the Bay View Neighborhood Association, Friends of South Shore Park, Bay View Historical Society, Bay View Lions Club and Friends of Humboldt Park.

Alderwoman Dimitrijevic enjoys living in the heart of Bay View with her husband Eduardo and children Lucia, Rafael, and Zoe.
