Marisela Martinez


Program Administrative Assistant

marisela@alasdreams.com
Hello, I am Marisela Martinez-Maya. I am the Program Administrative Assistant as part of the Administration Team here at ALAS. I was born and raised in Half Moon Bay a few years after my parents migrated to Half Moon Bay from Oaxaca, Mexico. I have since graduated from Half Moon Bay High School and am a First Generation College Student attending the College of San Mateo. I was originally a Sociology Major planning to be a Social Worker following the steps and under the inspiration of Dr. Belinda Hernandez-Arriaga but have since switched majors and am now pursuing my Associates Degree for Transfer in Mathematics as a Statistics Major. 

I was a very shy and reserved teenager growing up but started to open up to new opportunities including sports and the Leadership classes both at Cunha Intermediate School and Half Moon Bay High School. I became very interactive both at school and with extracurricular activities, amongst them school clubs, volunteering, and was part of Mariachi Media Luna. Towards the end of my Junior year in high school, I decided to volunteer as an Assistant Coach with the Half Moon Bay Girls Softball League helping young girls in our community learn the sport I love. During my sophomore year at the College of San Mateo, I was presented with the opportunity to be a Math/ Statistics Tutor at the Math Resource Center on campus. Helping my classmates and other college students learn my favorite subject made me realize that I want to pursue a career in which I could continue to do what I love, both Math and engaging with others through my work.

In 2012, during 7th Grade of Middle School, I joined Mariachi Media Luna, the Youth Mariachi Group in Half Moon Bay which is part of the ALAS Performing Arts Program. As such, I was introduced to ALAS and my journey with ALAS began. I have always loved to volunteer and give back to our beautiful community, creating many great relationships and opportunities to grow as a person and to shape my career path.

"For me ALAS is family, they have helped us to be connected to one another, to be proud of our culture and to find help when we need support. ALAS has given me hope and has been there for my us, Thanks to God for all those that help make this possible for us."
"On behalf of my family, thank you. Thank you very much. We cannot express how much you have support us during this difficult time. Not only do you help Latinos dream, but you also give us THE WINGS to stand up when we feel down. Thank you very much."
"​We have been very grateful to receive alas' services and help, so much or little it is a great relief during this time."
