Martha is a proud two-time NC State alum with over 25 years of experience in higher education. She has spent most of her career working at NC State and loves all things Wolfpack. One of her favorite things about working at NC State is the energy of being on a university campus, surrounded by students, faculty and staff all working together. Martha grew up in a small town in southeastern North Carolina (she likes to point out that her hometown was smaller than NC State’s freshman class), and she began her NC State career as a transfer student … so she understands some of the challenges that transfer students face when starting at NC State. She loves being a part of the C3 team and helping other students navigate their transition to NC State.
