Mrs. Martinac is so happy to be at Stargate this year. The 2009 school year is her first year as an elementary teacher and she couldn’t be more excited. Her history includes a BA in Communication from the University of Colorado and a MA in Elementary Education from the University of Phoenix. Her classroom experience includes 4 years as a preschool and pre-k teacher along with a semester of student teaching at Coyote Ridge Elementary in a first grade classroom.

Soon after graduating with her BA she obtained a job as a corporate event coordinator; which was short lived. After dipping her feet in the water of event coordinating she realized that she was not doing what she loved and had a passion for-teaching. At that she decided to go back to school to obtain her educator license. She believes that we are all lifelong learners and she would like to instill that value in all of her students.
