Name: Yammiel Martinez
Major: Music
Hometown: Bayamon, Puerto Rico
1. Why did you choose SMWC?
I chose SMWC because I could play volleyball and study what I love. Very few colleges would let me do both.
2. Why did you choose your major?
Since I was little, music has always been around me. I always seemed to get lost within the melody and everything clicked once I started playing guitar.
3. What is your favorite place on campus?
My favorite place on campus is Knoerle Center. It is the place that I go to represent my team and improve.
4. What is a favorite memory you have from your Woods experience?
My favorite memory from SMWC has been starting the men’s volleyball program. It brings me joy every time I think about how far we have come. We started our first year with only three wins, but are now ranked in the nation’s top 20 teams. It taught me to always trust the process and results will come.
5. How do you plan to stay connected to SMWC after graduating?
I definitely plan to keep watching my team play after I graduate because they are not just teammates to me, but family.
