Our Teammates Are Just Like You
If you want to know what it takes to get through military life, you go to the source. Because they live it, just like you do.
The SpouseLink Ambassadors are creative, professional, knowledgeable, and friendly representatives of both SpouseLink and AAFMAA. These active-duty Military Spouses host and participate in military and related events connecting with members of their local communities throughout the year — in-person and online.
If you live in or near one of their duty stations, be sure to look for them at local military events and stop by to say hi. Or look for their announcements on Facebook so you can participate in one of their fun MilSpouse get-togethers. Let them know what you’re interested in so they can work their Ambassador magic and create an event you’ll enjoy!
Ambassador Profiles
Gisella Mancilla
Ambassador at San Diego, CA
Marine Spouse
We found “GiGi” thanks to one of our long-time Ambassadors, Jessica. She is a dynamo with her crafting skills, runs her own business, and has represented our Camp Lejeune community for a few years. Now she’s helping to keep San Diego classy.
Andrea Scherpich
Ambassador at Camp Pendleton, CA
Marine Spouse
Andrea was one of our first Ambassadors, originally representing Camp Pendleton. CA. But she soon headed out into the desert heat in Twentynine Palms, where she served us for 5 years. As the wise one she is, she serves as a mentor to our newest Ambassadors and has starred in an AAFMAA video!
Sarah Martinez
Ambassador at Key West, FL
Navy Spouse
Sarah stepped right in when Emily left our Norfolk post behind. Since then, she’s been carrying on the job of hosting fun events for her community. She currently resides in Key West. She’s also as smart and sweet as can be. So if you need to connect with someone who understands… look her up!
Tara Smith
Ambassador at Camp Lejeune, NC
Marine Spouse
Tara’s personality is as bright as the Florida sunshine where she first joined us as an Ambassador. Now she lives at Camp Lejeune and is enjoying putting together events and activities for the community there with Jessica.
Jessica Doty
Ambassador at Camp Lejeune, NC
Marine Spouse
Jessica was our first Ambassador at Camp Lejeune. Then she moved to Stuttgart, Germany, for three years! Now she’s returning to Camp Lejeune and is ready to pick up where GiGi left off prior to move to San Diego this summer.
Anna is our first Ambassador who will focus her activities on our Veteran and transitioning servicemember audience. You will find her hosting regular SpouseLink live sessions and contributing to the SpouseLink blog. She’s based in Fort Hood, but available to you wherever you are.
