Mary's first career was as a fundraiser in higher education, where her listening skills helped people realize their dreams and helped her raise millions of dollars for the universities where she worked. In these development positions, Mary saw herself as a bridge between the donor and the recipient, always seeking and finding solutions that were satisfying to all parties.
