Martha attended NYU, where she worked at WNYU, the college station. She was the former intern for a major radio station in NY when she got the call to interview for a new venture, a cable channel called MTV. Martha was hired two days later and the rest is history. Her presence on MTV ran through 1991. She followed this up with a variety of TV appearances. She joined Ed McMahon as a co-host for Star Search in 1994. She was also a featured spokesperson for Neutrogena in the mid-1990s. Now you can find her mornings on iHeart80s@103.7!!
