“You molded the professional I am today.
Your vision on what a student should be, encouraged me to succeed and strive to being the best.
Of all the professors that I've had in my student life, the one name I always remember is: Martinez.
Therefore, If my 9 month old daughter has at least 1 professor in her life that will motivate, mentor and energize her student life and make her a better person, I hope is someone just like you Dr. Martinez"
