I am in awe at the work Marti does for small business, children, education, and especially girls’ empowerment. She studied Sociology and Spanish at Salem College, an all women’s college, which is were her advocacy began. She has worked and volunteered in the non-profit space developing business and education programs in communities in need of a voice for over 10 years.  Marti is currently the Development Manager for ROX, a non-profit that provides empowerment-based programs for young girls, where she connects donors with the impact of the organization’s work. She is a positive change agent for communities in need, she’s a mother, a wife, a leader in the community of Columbus, Ohio, and one of my favorite people.
