Mary is the Grants Manager at Baseline, where she brings her expertise in both program and grants management to the mission of ending poverty and helping Californians build financial well-being.

Mary has spent her career at the intersection of education and anti-poverty work, starting as a teacher and advocate with Teach For America before moving into program operations and grants management across legal services, higher education, and research organizations. Along the way, she developed a grounded understanding of how programs and funding work together. She holds graduate degrees in Education Policy and Leadership from American University and in Special and General Education from Relay Graduate School of Education.

As a California native, coming home to Baseline feels personal for Mary. She is deeply committed to the communities that shaped her and excited to put her skills toward work that makes a tangible difference in people's lives.
