Marty is a graduate of the University of Iowa and UCLA. She was self-employed as a nurse practitioner in "Physical and Vocational Rehabilitation" for 10 years. During that time, she developed an interest in the cosmetic specialty of medicine.

Many of her patients required reconstructive surgery following catastrophic injuries. She understood the importance of having an acceptable physical appearance, and became knowledgeable in the fields of prosthesis as well as Botox, Collagen, and laser hair procedures. Her education then evolved into a hands-on approach using lasers. She has continued to grow in her knowledge of lasers while employed at Coast Dermatology.
