Mary is originally from the Chicago suburbs, relocating to Florida ten years ago, after earning her Bachelor of Arts in Secondary Education from Elmhurst College. While in Florida, she pursued a Juris Doctor from Ave Maria School of Law and successfully passed the Florida Bar. Throughout high school, college, and law school, she maintained a passion for childcare, providing support to local families across a broad spectrum of ages, from newborns to adults with special needs. Coming from a large family herself, as one of six children, she deeply values the joy and energy that children bring and loves witnessing their growth and development. When not working, she enjoys spending time with her husband, their three dogs, and her nieces and nephews, as well as experimenting with gluten-free recipes in the kitchen. She looks forward to the opportunity to joining and supporting your family.
