While attending, Mary continued to be actively involved in the community as a case worker at the Community Legal Aid Office as well as a researcher at Pro Bono Student’s Canada.

After graduating, Mary articled at a national law firm where she obtained experience in business, intellectual property, and advocacy. She was admitted to the Law Society of Upper Canada as well as the Law Society of Alberta in 2011. Thereafter, she worked both as in-house counsel as well as in private practice. Despite these foundational experiences, Mary was drawn to family law because it gave her the best opportunity to pursue her original goal of helping people every single day in a way that truly makes a difference.
