Janet Martinez

Janet grew up in Santa Ana, California, and graduated from Stanford University with a Bachelor of Arts in International Relations and a minor in Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity. Janet’s interests in community activism and social well-being heavily shaped her undergraduate experience. These interests led her to become involved with the Stanford Center for Public Service and the Barrio Assistance Tutoring Program where she provided fellow first-generation students with the mentorship and support she had benefited from herself. After briefly working in the legal field, Janet was inspired by her previous experiences to return to the education field as part of the QuestBridge team. Janet is excited to join the QuestBridge team and looks forward to working with scholars and alumni. Beyond her professional interests, Janet enjoys spending time in nature, experimenting with film photography, and getting creative in the kitchen.
