Crew Spotlight: Debbie Martinat


In this week’s #CrewSpotlight, we would like to highlight Debbie Martinat and her 20 years of service to MSU. Debbie will be retiring in July, and we would like to thank her for all of her work. We will miss her very much when she is gone!

Over her 20 years here, Debbie has worked in a variety of departments, filling in wherever she was needed. Because Debbie always volunteers to assist where she is needed, she has many different experiences and an impressive amount of knowledge.

Debbie decided to dedicate her career to MSU when her former company, US Shoe in Flemingsburg was taken over by another larger company. Once that happened, she decided to go back to school. Now known as MCTC, Debbie attended Rowan Tech, where she studied office and medical office technology. She earned her diploma and maintained a 4.0! Upon graduation, Debbie was hired as a temporary, and then hired on full time in Facilities Management in April of 1999.

Aside from Facilities Management, Debbie has spent time working in the power plant, conference and events services, the work control center, and for the assistant VP. At the power plant, Debbie assisted in setting up offices to expand departments. Additionally, at conference and event services, Debbie was one of only two people handling all of the work! Debbie also worked as a support specialist at the work control center.

In Facilities Management, Debbie does something for everyone! She has worked in building services and recycling, and currently works in construction and engineering services. Additionally, she fills in at the front desk whenever she is needed.

Debbie says her favorite part of the job is the many different people she is able to interact with. She says she knows many people very well, and have seen many people grow up in the community.
When Debbie is not working, she enjoys camping, reading, biking, and walking, all doing so while with family. Debbie loves her big family, as she is the third of ten children, and has ten grandchildren of her own! In fact, if Debbie could choose to spend the day with anyone, dead or alive, she would choose to do so with her own mother.

MSU Facilities Management appreciates Debbie for her 20 years of service to MSU, as well as the work she does here every day. We will miss you!
