A former United Nations staff member, and first environmental and consumer TV journalist in Kentucky, Mary subsequently became Special Assistant to the Mayor of Louisville, creating the city wide and highly successful SUMMERSCENE, a 3-month, mobilized cultural experience for kids throughout city parks.

Subsequently, she founded of the city's first fee-free Scholastic Aptitude Training program for high school students. The corporately funded 6-week program served more than 500 students, resulting in the emergence of numerous in-house SAT programs now made available in local high schools today.

It was her creative vision, more than a decade ago, that the University of Louisville, given its intimate academic and cultural relationship with the community, should host a world-class author event.
