Mary made the move from writing the news to pitching the news in 2020. After years as a print and broadcast radio reporter, Mary was eager to take her behind-the-scenes knowledge and apply it as a Media Relations Manager.
When Mary is not reading up on the latest trends in tech and telecom, she is creating art as part of her small business, Making Up Mary, and training her golden retriever puppy, Moose.
