If you're looking for a consultant who delivers results—not just reports—you’ve come to the right place.

I’m Dr. Martin, founder of CARDINAL Ed., LLC, and I help schools, districts, nonprofits, and mission-driven organizations transform vision into impact. With more than 15 years of proven leadership across education, nonprofit, and edtech sectors, I don’t just talk strategy—I execute it.

I’m a first-generation college graduate who earned a doctorate in Educational Leadership with a concentration in Equity & Social Justice. That journey fuels everything I do. I’ve lived the barriers so many of our students and educators face—and I’ve spent my career breaking them down.

Here’s why clients hire me:

✅ I produce measurable outcomes.
From doubling university partner engagement in under a year to retaining 100% of district partnerships as a national program director, I bring a strong track record of success in even the most complex systems.

✅ I bridge strategy and execution.
I’ve led multi-million-dollar grants, launched district-wide equity initiatives, and designed national curriculum and training programs that stick. I know how to take a bold vision and turn it into a workable plan with timelines, deliverables, and lasting results.

✅ I lead with equity, always.
Whether I’m training school leaders, coaching nonprofit teams, or supporting systemic change, I center culturally responsive leadership, family and community engagement, and inclusive design in everything I do.

✅ I meet you where you are—then help you grow.
Every organization is different. I tailor every engagement to your goals, challenges, and context. Whether you need a strategic thought partner, an interim leader, or someone to lead a project from start to finish—I bring flexibility, clarity, and commitment.
