A lifelong resident of North Orange County, Mary brings a wealth of professional expertise and a deep personal commitment to Christian education to her role on the board. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Finance from Cal State Fullerton, a Master’s degree in Education with an emphasis in Reading, and completed post-graduate work at UC Irvine in Light Construction Development Management. 

With over 25 years of real estate industry experience spanning the public sector, private firms, and a family-owned partnership, she combines strong business acumen with a heart for service.

In addition, she has a background in classroom teaching. For 10 years, she served as an adjunct instructor for both critical thinking and remedial reading courses at the post-secondary level. 

Deeply shaped by her own K-12 Christian education, Mary is passionate about Christ-centered learning and believes it was instrumental in developing her as a thoughtful business leader and community servant. She and her husband, Jacob, have been married for 18 years and have one son, Joshua, who attended HCS from 2nd through 8th grade. Their family values the lasting relationships and spiritual foundation built during those years at HCS.

Guided by her life calling to connect people with solutions that enhance their lives and strengthen their walk with God, she is actively involved in her church. In her free time, she enjoys playing pickleball, reading biographies, baking, and solving word puzzles.
