With a lifelong love for cheer, Coach Martinez brings experience from both sides of the sidelines. She cheered throughout high school and later coached youth cheer through Mayport Naval MWR’s Youth Program. Today, she brings that experience, energy, and passion to the Grizzlies every single day.

For Coach Martinez, cheer is about so much more than routines, sidelines, and game days. Her goal is to build athletes who are confident, disciplined, supportive, and proud to represent the Grizzlies. She wants every cheerleader who comes through the program to understand the importance of teamwork, leadership, hard work, and believing in themselves.

Outside of school, Coach Martinez is a busy mom of five, balancing family life with her passion for teaching, coaching, and supporting her students. Being both a parent and an educator gives her a special perspective when working with young athletes and creating a team environment where every athlete feels supported, challenged, valued, and ready to SHINE!
