About Krista Martinez
Where is your hometown?
I was born and raised in Laredo, Texas.
What is your educational background?
I graduated from The University of Texas at San Antonio with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice.
Why did you decide to pursue a career in higher education?
Before coming to Northeast Lakeview College (NLC), I worked in an occupation that allowed me the opportunity to help individuals reach their educational goals. I truly enjoyed the opportunity of being able to guide and support them. I knew I wanted to remain in a profession that allowed me to continue this impactful and positive work. When the opportunity to work as an Advisor at NLC presented itself, I could not pass it up! I love being able to work with students every day and seeing them graduate and continue on with their educational journey makes it all worth it.
