Mary was the first student at San Jac to receive an AAS in cosmetology in its inaugural year at the Central Campus in 1976.
She moved to Brenham and owned a salon for many years until a dire need for cosmetology professors at her alma mater became her calling.
Today, Mary is the department chair for consumer and business technology, overseeing cosmetology, massage, and industrial trades, including biomedical clinical technician, HVAC, real estate, and engineering design graphics at the South Campus. Her specialty is cosmetology, but she relishes the chance to engage with and learn all the areas with which she works.
