She has been teaching at Chalmette High School for 3 years and loves to help students uncover the mysteries of the world around them.
 
Ms. Martin believes that education, especially science education, should be a fun, exciting, and hands-on experience that sparks curiosity and wonder. She is dedicated to teaching students in a unique way that encourages them to ask questions, think outside the box, and be led to their own conclusions. She is excited to be on this learning journey with each and every student!

In her spare time, Ms. Martin loves to attend events around New Orleans, spend time with family and friends, watch documentaries, read books, and embroider.
