In this video interview, Dr. Martina Giselle-Ramirez shares a bit about herself, her experiences, and her role at Stanislaus State University.
She was adopted by a Mexican-American family who, during the depression, lacked the opportunity to complete their high school education.
Her love for science began as a young child and metamorphosed into a passion that has propelled her journey toward her current position as the Dean of Science at CSU Stanislaus.
Along this journey, she cultivated enriching connections, overcame challenges of discrimination, and discovered an immense interest in arachnids!
Her overall teaching mentality is best defined by her statement that, “You can go in there and bore people, or you can go in there and rock the room.”
