Early life and education

Martin was born in Salt Lake City, Utah,[2] and raised in Idaho Falls, Idaho, where she graduated from Idaho Falls High School.[3][4] She graduated from University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington, with a bachelor's degree in politics and government in 1996, and from the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University in New York City with a master's degree in international affairs in 2003.[5][6]

Career

Martin was a producer and reporter for KQED in San Francisco. In 2003, she was a freelance reporter in Afghanistan, also for NPR. From 2005 to 2007, Martin was foreign correspondent for NPR.[7] In 2007, she covered the Virginia Tech shooting. In 2008, she was a correspondent for ABC News.[8] Martin was one of the hosts of NPR's Bryant Park Project,[7] a New York-based experimental morning news program designed to attract a younger demographic.[9]

In 2010, Martin was National Security Correspondent for NPR, during which time she reported on the US counterinsurgency efforts.[7] She took over as host of Weekend Edition Sunday in 2012, shortly after longtime host Liane Hansen stepped down.[10] She became a co-host of Morning Edition in 2016 when Renée Montagne stepped down. She left the show in early 2023. Having previously worked as the network's religion correspondent from 2006 to 2007,[7] Martin is the creator of Enlighten Me, an NPR special series on religion, spirituality, and meaning.[11][12]
