Corrina Martinez-Carlos
Rafael and I have been married for 27 years. We have three children Elena 23, Vanessa 21, and Vincent 19. I was born in Ulysses Kansas in 1968. I attended Dodge City Community College and transferred to Wichita State University.
- Graduated in 1994 with a Bachelor of Heath Science (Pre-Med) and a Bachelor in General Studies.
- 2001 Masters of Science - Early Childhood Special Education through Fort Hays State University.
- 2005 ESL endorsement through Newman University.
I had originally wanted to be a doctor. However, life had different plans and I fell in love with working with children with disabilities and their families. I worked in the Early Childhood Special Education Field for over 20 years. I am starting my 5th year at Dodge City High School. I am The ESL SLIFE (students with limited or interrupted formal education) teacher.
I have been a member of St. Cornelius for almost 19 years. I have served as a Vestry member for two terms. I was the Children’s Education Director for approximately 10 years. I have organized fundraisers that have funded 3 Youth Pilgrimages to the United Kingdom. I also supervise the St. Cornelius Parade Floats for the Parade of Lights Parade and Dodge City Days Parade. In 2020 I was chosen to represent St. Cornelius at the Episcopal Church Planter’s Conference in California. This conference helped our church establish Latino Ministries. I have also represented St. Cornelius at our Diocese Conventions on a few occasions. I have served on the Rector Search Committee two times.
I am honored to serve as a vestry member for St. Cornelius! My family is blessed to be members of St. Cornelius' Episcopal Church.
