Martinez Casas joins the Georgia Tech volleyball program as one of the most exciting volleyball prospects in Argentina. The Buenos Aires native has been steadily rising up the ranks of the Argentina national team program over the last few years, earning a spot on the U18 national team as a 15-year-old, back in 2022. In the spring, she made her Liga A1 debut, the top-flight of Argentinian volleyball, playing for local club, Ferro Carril Oeste, where she helped lead the team to a semifinal finish in the Buenos Aires metro championships.
