Martinez joined FC Tucson after having been selected to the U15 and U17 Mexico National Team, and representing her country in the CONCACAF tournament in Orlando, Florida.
The midfielder played for Club Santos Laguna in LIGA BBVA MX Femenil during its 2019-20 Apertura season, scoring three goals in 11 appearances. Injury sidelined her for the ensuing Clausura, but she bounced back strongly with her performance in Tucson.
