Kellie Page

Assistant Coach of the Year

Kellie is a Marine Mom who has been a volunteer with MarineParents.com since March of 2019. Kellie has an immense passion for her role as Assistant Coach for our RTBN Parris Island and San Diego Facebook groups. She is always willing to help wherever there is a need as she guides recruit family members through the boot camp journey. She is very organized and does a fantastic job of guiding new volunteers through the training process, a job that requires a lot of patience and the ability to encourage others while teaching them as well. Kellie's passion for her role as Assistant Coach trickles down to the other volunteers and makes her a joy to work with! We are so thankful for everything Kellie has done for this organization, volunteers, and the family members of recruits and Marines. The future of the organization is bright because of volunteers like Kellie!

Nicole has worn nearly every volunteer hat, performed every volunteer duty, and held every volunteer title in the organization. Her performance and dedication never waivers. Her ability to step up where there is a need never waivers. Her volunteer spirit never waivers. We appreciate Nicole's never-ending dedication and willingness to commit to volunteer service.
