(I now sport facial hair)
Welcome. My name is Victor G. Martinez. I am currently a third year, third grade teacher at Mundo Verde Bilingual Public Charter School in Washington, D.C.
I hail from Downey, CA and received my undergraduate degree from the University of California, Davis and my graduate degree from the University of Southern California. It was during these years that I became interested in the education of students like me. I worked as an undergraduate and graduate researcher, undergraduate peer advisor, high school college advisor, and interned as a middle school counselor. I moved to D.C. to conduct education and behavioral health research before transitioning back into the school setting (best decision of my life). After a year and a half as a teacher fellow, I became a real life teacher.
My work in education focuses on supporting the academic and social-emotional development of diverse students. This includes advocating for and implementing equitable school policies and practices that ensure opportunities for college, career, and life readiness.
