Dr. Marea, a certified nurse midwife with extensive experience in obstetrics and gynecology, will serve a term ending on January 10, 2028. The nomination includes her biographical information and a proposed resolution for the Council's consideration, which highlights her expertise and outlines the procedural steps for adoption, including the requirement to notify both the nominee and the Mayor's Office.

The resolution aims to formally confirm Dr. Marea's reappointment to the committee, which is responsible for reviewing maternal mortality cases in the District of Columbia. Her qualifications and commitment to improving reproductive healthcare, particularly for marginalized communities, are emphasized, along with her involvement in various health-related committees and educational roles at Georgetown University.
