I've developed a wide variety of traditional and online materials — brand and web design, print pieces, promotional items, advertising, social content, even environmental design. My designs often received CASE III Advancement Awards of Excellence and other awards for design in education and advancement. Most importantly, my work has consistently delivered key results for my clients.
“It is always refreshing to attest someone’s passion for the work they do ... Mary consistently displayed an inexhaustible passion and care towards, not only our programs, but even more importantly for each and every student.

I worked in the film industry for eight years. I was a Location Agent, a title I coined. At the time, I was the only person in the industry specializing in academic film locations. I represented colleges and universities for contract negotiation and all on-set production. I worked about 50 projects, including some major feature films, and landed some firsts. You can read about it here.
I have many favorites memories on sets, one in particular involved the late and great director Wes Craven. While on set for Scream 2 the props master started unloading five-gallon containers, Wes leaned in and said to me, "You know it's a great day when they bring out the buckets of blood." Fake blood, that is.

Thank you! We'll get back to you shortly.
