After working in retail customer service and management for nearly 15 years, Martha began working for the Oceanside Unified School District in 1991, spending the majority of those years as an Executive Assistant to several of the administrators at the District Office. She retired as the Executive Assistant to the Associate Superintendent of Curriculum in 2012. Martha continues to work as a substitute at the District Office and ESS.

When working with Gina Campbell, coordinating various PVCS projects with the OUSD, Martha became increasingly interested in the school. She became a member of the Board of Trustees and served there for several years, the last four as president. After retirement from OUSD, Martha began volunteering in the PVCS office, which she continues to do. She was chosen to rejoin the Board in August, 2015.

In her leisure time, Ms. Brown loves to read while cuddling with her rescue dog. She also loves knitting and quilting, and produces afghans, shawls, and scarves for the “Knit for the Cure” project which she donates to a local oncology center. She lives in a 100-year old Oceanside home with her son, two dogs, and two cats.
