Episode 177: Change through Storytelling
Laura and Matt GrundlerMartha Niño
As educators, we witness the impact small actions have on students every day. Martha Niño, our guest in this episode, calls this The Butterfly Effect. Today, Martha is a senior marketing manager for Adobe, an author, and an influential public speaker, but that’s not where her story began. Born in poverty in central Mexico, Martha immigrated to the US at a young age, learned English as a second language by translating for her parents, and prioritized work over school. How did she transform her life? Martha’s story is a prime example of how educators’ drive and creativity—inside and outside the classroom—can shape a student’s life.
