About the Founder/Director
JACKIE MARTIN is an Advanced Practice Registered Nurse with over 40 years in the medical field, including 19 years as a Family Nurse Practitioner. Eight of her years as a nurse practitioner were spent in the practice of pediatrics. Jackie graduated from what was then the North Carolina Baptist Hospital School of Nursing and later received her Masters Degree from Georgia State University.
In her pediatrics practice Jackie saw a need for programs for at risk children which would address the obstacles they face and would help them broaden the possibilities in their lives. Out of this need came the vision for the Just Us Girls Mentoring Program which started as a yearly workshop in 2003 and became an ongoing 501© 3 in 2008 with Jackie as its founder and Executive Director.
Jackie continues to practice as a Family Nurse Practitioner with Piedmont Health Care on a per diem basis.
She believes that one committed person can make a difference in the life of any child. She has had several informal mentors throughout her life.
Jackie is the mother of 3 grown sons, Mitch II, Jonathan and Matthew and is married to Mitchell Martin.
