Marie Martinez hopes to complete her associate’s degree at San Jac and then transfer to Alvin Community College to complete her academic career.

Martinez initially wanted to pursue a career in teaching but decided on a career in journalism instead. Her interests in writing, literature, and love for reading are what ultimately led to her final decision. She aspires to become a news reporter of the stars and even write a book of her own.

When she is not occupied with work and school, Martinez enjoys taking solo trips. Whether it is a trip to Barnes & Noble to find a new book or a trip down to the beach to enjoy a read with a nice view. Beaches & libraries are her personal favorite reading spots. She also enjoys filling that free time exploring different thrift stores in the area.
