Organ Scholar and Music Ministry Apprentice
Sophie Martinez is a Phoenix native, an organist, and a church musician. She graduated with a Master of Theological Studies degree from Princeton Theological Seminary in 2025. She is also a 2023 graduate of Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, Minnesota, where she studied religion, music, and Scandinavian Studies. She has studied organ with Eric Plutz in Princeton, Chad Winterfeldt in St. Peter, Craig Westendorf in Phoenix, and Ulrika Ryssmats in Mora, Sweden.
