Sina Compton

My Story

Born and raised in Germany, Sina Compton met Marine Corps Chief Warrant Officer Eric D. Compton in 2003. They married in 2005 following his first deployment to Iraq and built a life rooted in love, family, and service. Together, they raised four children while making homes in California, Texas, and Hawaii.

After multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, Eric was diagnosed with PTSD—a struggle he carried for many years. On July 27, 2019, he died by suicide, forever changing the lives of those who loved him.

In the years since, Sina has walked alongside her children through grief while undertaking her own journey of healing. Today, as a keynote speaker, mental health advocate, and co-founder of A H.E.R.O.’S Family Foundation, she shares her family’s story with honesty and hope. Through her speaking, Sina helps audiences understand the far-reaching effects of PTSD, trauma, and loss—and reminds them that healing is possible and no one should have to struggle alone.

What Others Say

“Sina spoke with conviction and aplomb to a room of over 500 former and current fighter pilots. Her experience and message kept the audience on the edge of their seats. Sina’s speech was a highlight of our evening.”

“When Sina begins speaking, the audience is immediately drawn in, and a respectful silence blankets the room. She speaks from the heart, openly and genuinely, and inspires, motivates, and lifts the mood of the room.”
