For three full years and part of a fourth, Martin had fiscal oversight for the department's $20-million annual budget that includes 16 sports, 32 departments and 125 employees. Her business savvy and acumen have resulted in San Jose State finishing each of the last four academic years with a budget surplus - a university first.

Martin oversees future football scheduling and serves as a sports supervisor for baseball, softball, women's basketball, women's gymnastics and volleyball. In 2009, she was named the West Region Administrator of the Year by the women's gymnastics coaches in the Pacific and Mountain time zones.

Nationally respected, she is the second vice-president of CABMA (College Athletic Business Management Association) for 2009-10. She holds memberships in NACDA (National Association of College Directors of Athletics), Beta Gamma Sigma (International Honors society for studies in Business), WISC (Women In Sports Careers), NACWAA (National Association Of Collegiate Women Athletic Administrators) and the Golden Key International Honor Society.

At the conference level, Martin is San Jose State's representative on the Western Athletic Conference finance, championships, gender equity and code book committees.

A four-time letterwinner and former captain of the Spartan women's gymnastics team, Martin has bachelor's and master's degrees from San Jose State University. The 2002 graduate majored in business administration and corporate financial management. She earned an M.B.A. in finance in 2005.
