Favorite Interests
College football aficionado with a passion for cooking, reading, traveling, and raising two sweet and sassy girls.Personally Speaking
While Mary never made the leap to being a professional chef, she loves to cook and believes that, much like public relations, quality ingredients yield the best results. She loves to entertain — whether for a two-year–old’s birthday or a large holiday gathering, Mary believes there’s nothing better than a room full of laughter. A native Memphian, Mary loves her city and all it has to offer, from the beautiful zoo to the delicious barbecue. She’s a huge sports fan in general and a Penn State fanatic. On Saturdays in the fall, she can be found glued to the TV, trying to teach her daughters about the gloriousness that is college football.
