Mary grew up on a very rural, cattle ranch in New Mexico just above the US-Mexico border, where she learned to drive when she was just seven years old and had no television in her home. She attended Williams college, in Massachusetts town near the New York-New Hampshire border. She first intended in going into politics, then fell in love with drama and theater, so she shifted her major. After college, she decided to study law.

After law school, Mary went to work for a natural gas utility in El Paso, TX, the city in Texas that borders Mexico and New Mexico. She worked as an in-house lawyer at the utility for several years, then went to work for a traditional law firm for a short period of time before she realized she didn’t like working as a traditional lawyer. So, she went to work for the (FERC) Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. abbreviated FERC or “FERC”. She spent her time prosecuting utility companies that were not abiding by the law. After 4 years, she went back to work for El Paso Electric Company, where she would work her way up to the CEO position.

After spending a huge portion of her career in El Paso, Mary decided to join Puget Sound Energy in Bellevue, WA in 2019 to take on an ambitious challenge.
Today, Puget Sound Energy, employs more than 2,500 people, and serves over 1 million customers.
