Martha lived in an all girl Catholic Boarding School in Vienna for

school that she was recruited to attend the acclaimed New World School

Mellon, New York University and Boston University, where she decided to
attend and where she earned her B.F.A. in dramatic arts. She later took
her acting skills back to Miami and New York, where she worked as a
principal performer in over one hundred TV commercials which were
broadcast all over North America, Latin America, and Europe. She got
supporting roles in Telemundo's soap-operas Guadalupe and El Magnate.
She also directed a few plays for several different companies in Miami
and Boca Raton in the Spanish language. While this was all going on, at
the same time, Martha was jet-setting with famous European friends, and
spent her time in the South of France, and Spain. Later, she was chosen
as a bilingual spokesperson, presenter and host for General Motors and
later Mitsubishi Motors and later, Honda traveling all over the nation
