SOMETHING ABOUT

MARY

I’m a small business owner, former teacher, and dedicated Apex volunteer with over 30 years in North Carolina. I started my career as an award-winning journalist covering North Carolina state news before moving to Apex in the mid-90s when the town’s population was under 15k!

I stepped away from journalism after the birth of my sons and became a substitute teacher, coached award-winning Science Olympiad teams, served as Room Mom, and contributed to the board of the Raleigh Boychoir. My landscaping and HOA experience has given me a practical understanding of our community’s needs, which I’ve further applied as chair of the Apex Tree Citizens Advisory Panel, where I’ve listened and delivered for our town. I've crafted and delivered hundreds of cards to seniors in local assisted living centers and as a devoted animal lover, have fostered homeless dogs and adopted two rescues, Rockne and Muffet.

With deep roots in Apex, I know what makes us the 'Peak of Good Living,' and I’m
ready to fight for our future.
