MEET CRYSTAL MARTINEZ

As a current College of Marin Board Trustee, appointed in July 2023, I prioritize student needs in every decision I make. My belief in the transformative power of education is deeply personal. Community college played a pivotal role in my journey, allowing me to balance family and work while furthering my education and laying the foundation for my career. I am passionate about paying this forward to help future generations thrive through education.

For two decades, I have been proud to call San Rafael home, where my husband and I are raising our teenage son. I am dedicated to ensuring that every student has the opportunity to succeed and that Marin County continues to be a place where learning flourishes and paves the way for future success. Building on the College of Marin's nearly century-long tradition of educational excellence, I strive to reinforce its position as the premier community college in California. Together, we can transform tomorrow, today.
