As Associate Director for Facilities, Operations, and Recreation, Martha oversees the scheduling and operations of the entire sports center complex. She serves as a member of the event management team, which coordinates all aspects of the athletic contests, tournaments, post-season play and special events. She also coordinates the department's many recreation programs.

Martha is a member of the National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA) and the Association of Higher Education Facilities Officers (APPA). She has also served two terms on the Massachusetts Governor's Committee on Physical Fitness and Sports.

One of Martha's special projects in recreation is to create opportunities for student leadership. She has developed detailed job descriptions for all student workers and created positions for student coordinators in the four major recreational activities: swimming, weight room, aerobics, and front desk. These positions enable coordinators to develop leadership, supervisory, and organizational skills. The students oversee the day-to-day scheduling of these areas and become very responsible and responsive to the needs of students and members.

Martha enjoys spending time with her family, husband Steve, daughter Blake, and son Tucker. She also enjoys yoga, collecting cookbooks, and most outdoor activities.
