About me
Katie Martinenza, she/her
Katie Martinenza is the Lower School Performing Arts teacher and Quaker Life Clerk at Wilmington Friends School. A practicing Quaker and graduate of the school’s Class of 1999, she brings a deep commitment to Quaker values, community-building, and arts education to her work with children and families. Katie’s work explores the intersection of Quakerism and the performing arts, with a particular interest in how music can uplift the testimonies and foster connection, empathy, courage, and belonging. She believes deeply in a pedagogy of care that creates joyful, inclusive spaces where every student feels seen, supported, and empowered to share their voice.
