Senior Class President and National Honor Society President, Martinez moved to Marfa from Coahuila, Mexico when she was in kindergarten. Throughout her twelve years at Marfa ISD she has excelled in math, science, welding, journalism and the arts. In her scholarship application, Martinez shared her plans for next year, “I plan on attending Texas Tech University and studying at the school of Media and Communications majoring in Public Relations with a minor in Strategic Communications. My goals for achieving this are set high. With these majors there are a lot of different job opportunities that are available. My main one would be to become a Public Relations manager, social media manager, or a head of communications.”
