Carla Martin
Project Coordinator
Carla has a very clear memory of the moment her career trajectory was set. Her family computer was upgraded from a 286 to the first Pentium and "every science fiction movie I’d ever seen sprang to life, and I saw the future." She comes to the position of ARE-ON Project Coordinator with that belief in the power of technology to change lives still strong and with 20+ years of experience at the University of Arkansas focused on IT service development and project management.
Carla is focused on planning, coordinating, and executing ARE-ON's technical operations, partnering with the engineers and senior staff. She views the project coordinator as the person who makes work easier for the team and she enjoys helping get things done, making this a great opportunity to support such important work.
