About Marta
_edited.jpg)
I am a first-generation American, born to Portuguese parents in Corona, California. I speak Portuguese, Spanish, and English fluently.
I am an avid sports fan, and I have always played soccer for most of my life. My soccer teams are Fc Porto and Juventus.
​
I am blessed to be the parent to a beautiful daughter.
I love to travel, shoot pool, listen to music, meditate at the beach, watch sports, and try new things.
Hollyhocks are a great metaphor for my life. It seems the most beautiful and vibrant blooms have sprung forth from the crack in a sidewalk. They represent resiliency and becoming the best version of yourself by overcoming adversity.
​
I have faced many obstacles and have worked hard to come through each experience a better person. This has greatly contributed to my transferable skills. And, it it why I have devoted much of my life to supporting survivors of sexual crimes, recovering addicts, and at-risk youth. Just as much as I am aiming high in my life, it is my passion to inspire others to shoot for the stars.
