Mrs. Martin has 13 years of teaching and educational administration experience, 12 of which have been in Seventh-day Adventist schools across the US in New Hampshire, California, and Michigan. She is passionate about learning and growing in Jesus, and helping students take ownership of their learning. She was part of the RMES faculty from 2012-2015, and joined the team again in 2024.
The early years of education shape more than just school readiness—they shape identity, confidence, and a lifelong approach to learning. At Ruth Murdoch Elementary School, we recognize that what happens in these formative years lays the groundwork for how a child thinks, relates, and thrives. Here, education is more than academics. It’s the cultivation of curiosity, the strengthening of resilience, and the daily experience of being seen and supported. In classrooms filled with purpose and encouragement, students begin to understand not just what they can achieve—but who they are in Christ.
