Mary's three-decade residence in Southern Arizona has provided her with a deep connection to the region's unique landscapes, culture, and community. The desert vistas, majestic mountains, and vibrant sunsets have been a constant source of inspiration and wonder for her. Mary was born and raised in Oklahoma where she spent her early years surrounded by the wide-open skies and rolling fields of Oklahoma. Raised in a close-knit community, she learned the values of hard work, resilience, and compassion from her parents and family. In 1991, she bid farewell to the familiar comforts of home and set out for Arizona where she started her teaching career shaping young minds as an educator in the vibrant communities of Southern Arizona. After retiring from education, she decided to start a new career in real estate which has been a passion of hers for some time. She loves connecting with others and helping them find their dream home and their own little oasis in Southern Arizona.
