Martha is a student-athlete at Davidson College majoring in Economics with a minor in Classics. As the daughter of two Romanian immigrant parents, her interest in economics stems from her upbringing, as she was able to experience firsthand the opportunities that arise from a free and fair economy. She is also interested in how society continues to change and advance, as well as the adverse effects of progress, such as inequality and unemployment. With a focus mainly on the labour market, Martha is interested in the effects of wages and employment policies. For example, this past year at school, she has researched the effects of increasing the minimum wage on employment amongst marginalized groups in Virginia. Along with her interest in economics, she swims competitively for her college, and in her free time, she enjoys history, art, fitness, and playing with her dog Gromit.
