Jessica Martinez joined BDEA in 2022 as a Community Filed Coordinator and is excited to be part of the school’s community and its efforts to continue advocating for the student support initiative at BDEA. She is a proud Afro-Dominicana born and raised in Boston; the same city that has served her academically and professionally. She attended Salem State University and is looking forward to embarking on a master’s program soon. In her spare time, she loves dancing, laughing hard with her really-loud family, crafting/ decorating, and building community through advocacy, to ensure that she sees the students and the families she serves win!
