Nurse Martin love being a resource for our students, their families, and her coworkers. She loves music and has played piano, guitar, and other instruments over the years. She also enjoys cooking and baking. Her long-term goal is to run a mobile bakery. She and her husband recently purchased a vintage VW bus and are working to get it running and ready for business!
