Reece Martin - Palmer Scholar 2017




















When did you start at Palmer Scholars?

I was involved in Palmer Scholars my Junior Year of 2017 until I graduated from the University of Washington in 2021.


Where are you currently in your life?

Currently, I am a marketing specialist at an organization called Washington Association for Community Health. I handle all marketing efforts for a workforce program called InReach Career Pathways. I have grown in areas like Photography, website development, email marketing, and more. I am also a husband and a father!


What advice do you have for current and future scholars?

Some advice that I would give to future Palmer Scholars cohorts is to really take the time to figure out what you like and if you don’t know, explore new things. Once you have a good idea of what you like, try to use that as a guide on what you want to pursue after high school. Don’t be afraid of change during this process because you’ll probably change your mind a lot!


I would like to congratulate the Palmer Scholars class of 2024 for graduating high school and entering the next chapter of their lives. I am extremely proud of them as their former Scholar Experience Coordinator!

 SUPPORT OUR MISSION TODAY!

Palmer Scholars acknowledges that our work is carried out on, and our office space is located within, occupied Coast Salish land, specifically that of the Puyallup Tribe of Indians. We pay respect to Coast Salish Elders past and present and extend that respect to their descendants and to all Indigenous peoples. To acknowledge this land is to recognize its longer history and our place in that history; it is to recognize these lands and waters and their significance for the peoples who lived and continue to live in this region, whose practices and spiritualties were and are tied to the land and the water, and whose lives continue to enrich and develop in relationship to the land, waters, and other inhabitants today.

 

We also pause to recognize and acknowledge the labor upon which our country, state, and institutions are built.

We remember that our country is built on the labor of enslaved people who were kidnapped and brought to the U.S. from the African continent and recognize the continued contribution of their survivors. We also acknowledge all immigrant labor, including voluntary, involuntary, trafficked, forced, and undocumented peoples who contributed to the building of the country and continue to serve within our labor force. We acknowledge all unpaid care-giving labor.

 

To the people who contributed this immeasurable work and their descendants, we acknowledge our/their indelible mark on the spaces in which we operate today. It is our collective responsibility to critically interrogate these histories, to repair harm, and to honor, protect, and sustain this land.
