This work includes considering new ways to infuse DEIAJ across operations\, programs\, procedures\, data access and service delivery\, and expanding partnerships that prioritize co-creation and sustainable relationship building with underrepresented and marginalized groups and communities. Ms. Martinez also works in a variety of ways to mitigate barriers to entry\, persistence\, advancement and success for underrepresented and marginalized groups in STEM academic programs and the workforce. A certified diversity professional with three graduate degrees from the University of Rhode Island (MS Oceanography\, MMA Marine Affairs\, MBA)\, Ms. Martinez began her ocean science career with NOAA more than 20 years ago helping to formalize and manage important regional NOAA partnerships in the Northeast\, and spent many years working on telepresence-enabled expeditions to explore little known and unknown oceanareas. \nMs. Martinez has been honored with several awards over the years for her work\, including being recognized by the YWCA as one of their 2015 Women of Achievement in Rhode Island (RI) for promoting peace\, justice\, freedom and dignity. In 2016\, Ms. Martinez received the NOAA OAR EEO Diversity Award for exemplary service and dedication to improving the representation of women and marginalized groups in STEM\, and in 2019 Ms. Martinez was awarded the Women of Color in STEM Diversity Leadership in Government Award for demonstrating sustained leadership in creating a more diverse\, equitable\, and inclusive Federal workforce. Ms. Martinez also received the 2022 URI Graduate School of Oceanography Distinguished Achievement Award for excellence in professional achievement\, leadership contributions\, community service\, and philanthropy. Most recently\, she was selected as one of four finalists for the 2023 Remarkable Women of RI\, a National competition that honors the influence that women have had on public policy\, social progress\, and quality of life in the state.
