Her career started on the VSE trade floor, where she was a floor governor and part of the team that automated the trading floor.

With over 30 years in the industry, Mary has seen the industry evolve and participated in many of those changes in one form or another; she continues to get excited about assisting her clients and associates with their needs in this ever-changing industry.
