She holds a Bachelor's of Arts degree with a major in Theater from Cardinal Stritch University and a Masters in Educational Leadership from Alverno College. She has directed at other area schools but has never had the true collaboration that she has found her at Eisenhower. Mary has directed close to 30 productions and loves that each and every show takes on a life of its own. She enjoys working with and teaching the students to help them find their passions and truth on the stage as well as in the technical elements. She realizes that none of this would be possible without her co-director Natalie Baetschy.
