Marta was born January 1991 raised in Los Angeles, CA.  At a young age her dream was to become a teacher. She started volunteering at her old elementary school; when she attended middle school through high school. She worked with second grade students in classwork and homework.

Growing up was the most difficult part. Her father suffered a heart attack and her priority was taking care of her dad while helping around the house. At that point on she realized she wanted to work in the medical field. Her father had to go through physical therapy and that made her want to become a physical therapist to be able to help people gain back movement and be independent once more.

After high school she became a mom and went to a trade school and got her certificate as Medical Assistant/Cardiac Tech. Her first job was at an acupuncture clinic as front desk receptionist. Marta managed the front desk mostly by herself and in the process learned a lot about Chinese herbal medicine. As much as she loved to greet patients her heart was somewhere else and knew that she could do so much more.  Marta plans on going back to school and continue her education to be able to accomplish her dream.
