When Mrs. Martin majored in Math at Villanova, she was the only girl in most of her courses, and all of her instructors were men. She decided to become a teacher so she could do something to fill that void, and (hopefully) get more girls to follow in her footsteps. Mrs. Martin is committed to Catholic Education. She is the product of 16 years of Catholic schooling and personally attests to the immeasurable benefits of a Catholic education, not only in academics but in values for life. The best advice she ever received was on the sidelines of a St. Anne's soccer game in 1991, when several moms of 7th & 8th grade students urged her to teach Algebra at St. Anne's. The following year, she did! The quote she tries to live by is “If at first you don’t succeed….try harder!”
