Mary was born and raised in Texas before moving to the Bay Area in the early 2000s.  Prior to her legal career, she was a public elementary school teacher for over 10 years. Mary was recognized as teacher of the year and won several grants for her school. During that time, she wanted to do more for her students and their families outside of education, so she switched careers to expand her area of reach.
