I’m a three-time Emmy-nominated journalist with a decade of experience in media who has covered major national stories like the aftermath of the Charlottesville ‘Unite the Right’ rally and President Trump’s “travel ban” in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals. I became a journalist to speak for the voiceless, like my severely disabled sister. I have used my platform to shed light on important issues impacting people with disabilities and other vulnerable and disenfranchised communities. I won a Catalyst for Change award from the ARC of Virginia for the impact of my reporting and an Emmy nomination for an investigation exposing neglect and abuse at an assisted living facility.

Politicians outside of Santa Ana began to notice Martinez's bold and unique approach to curtailing homelessness. Juan Garza, the former mayor of the City of Bellflower, California, in Los Angeles County, wanted to learn more. He sought Martinez out at a conference to hear her city's journey. A little over a year later, the City of Bellflower would enter the case as a defendant, too, building a shelter and implementing the more service-oriented regulations required in the settlement.
