Marten comes to the shores of Lake Michigan from the Arizona desert where she served as the Director of Operations for Arizona State gymnastics and as the school's Olympic Sports Graduate Assistant while she completed her masters in sports law and business.

Additionally, she is a Tournament Staff member for the AAU Volleyball Junior National Championships in Orlando each June, a role in which she handles both onsite management and serves as a liaison to the All-American committee.
Before her time in Arizona, Marten served as a Track and Field Operations Intern and Event Management Specialist Intern at Nebraska where she completed her undergraduate degree with a major in management and minors in both marketing and sports communication. She was tasked with assisting in the facilitation and scheduling of the 2016 Big Ten Outdoor Track and Field Championships along with Nebraska's eight other home meets each season.
