We are proud to present Rizza Atain-Martinez as March’s Sim Star. Atain-Martinez is a nurse and instructor in the McNulty-Haddick Nursing Center at Lee College in Baytown, Texas.

Atain-Martinez regularly creates start-to-finish simulation scenarios for her students, and aims to incorporate as many real-life experiences into her students’ simulation lab experience as possible.

Before becoming an instructor, Atain-Martinez spent time as an ER nurse, and she shares her experiences with her students as often as she can. She is currently pursuing a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree. Atain-Martinez was nominated by her colleague Gloria Burke, who says that Atain-Martinez, “pushes every day to have a positive effect on everyone she comes in contact with.”
