Jessica Martinez, Social Media Editor

Jessica Martinez is happy to be serving as the Social Media Editor again this semester. Originally from Torrance, a small beach city in Los Angeles County, she's a CAS senior thoroughly enjoying her last year of college. As social media editors should, she's known to have her head buried in her phone constantly scrolling through her apps and she's known to Snapchat dogs she sees around the city. The best things in her life are her mom and sister, her goldendoodle puppy, her best friends, Mexican food, and long naps. Follow her on Twitter.
