Elisa Martinez obtained her Bachelor’s degree from Texas A&M University-San Antonio in 2015. When Elisa was a teenager, she volunteered at the SA Hope Center in the children’s ministry and summer program. Teaching the children in the community about God’s unconditional love for them brought her immense joy. Elisa is proud of her Mexican-American culture and heritage, as she is the daughter of immigrant parents. Witnessing a real-life example of what one can achieve by pursuing their dreams and happiness has been a blessing. She understands the impact that a compassionate group of people can have when they come together to support individuals and families with dignity as they navigate through life. Elisa is fluent in English, Spanish, and Spanglish. She enjoys spending time with her family and friends, traveling, getting lost in a great film or book, and showing love to her fur baby, Nova. Elisa has been serving at the SA Hope Center since 2017.
