my mission
Why do I do this work? To help the helpers.
I have dedicated my career to advocating for healthcare providers, developing and empowering leaders, and elevating the field of behavioral health.
"I would 100% recommend Snowdrop Systems. Dr. Rackets has so much knowledge and experience, and the value of her consulting services is immense. Our collaboration with her provided the guidance and recommendations we needed to navigate transitions and changes on our team. She helped us bring the big picture into focus and set clear objectives, which, in turn, helped our team feel more aligned and focused."
-Erica J., Executive Director
“Martha is a thoughtful, compassionate and intentional leader with a proven track record of success. She has a rare combination of financial and business operations knowledge and clinical skill and experience, making her a well-rounded leader in the behavioral health space.
-Kim R, Director of Behavioral Health
