Once open, Mary was Director of Admissions and Fundraising. Mary received her education at Hamilton College (B.A.) and The Anderson Graduate School of Management at UCLA (M.B.A.). In 2012, she was certified as an Enneagram Teacher, which provides a unique perspective and sensitive appreciation for students' strengths, passions and areas for growth. Mary has also served on the Board of Trustees and been very involved at the middle and high schools where her three children attended in the San Francisco Bay Area.
