Mary’s path to law reflects her scientific background and drive to help others. Her undergraduate degree in neuroscience involved extensive research in traumatic brain injury and stroke, areas where she excelled and found a deep connection to her work through engaging with research subjects and their families. This connection with patients drove her desire for a career in law, where she can make a meaningful contribution to her clients. A graduate of the University of Calgary Faculty of Law, Mary spent two summers working with SVR before returning to complete her articling year. Already adept at research, Mary’s role now extends to drafting and making court appearances. Mary is an avid long-distance and trail runner. She is also a dedicated baker with a particular interest in fermentation, a hobby that marries her love for science and cooking.
