Mary has recently joined our SUE Rising team of coaches—who have been carefully vetted and gone through several rounds of coaching the SUE Talkers. SUE Risers are young women aged 13-18, and Mary has done a fantastic job in working one-on-one with these special young women to create 6-minute talks based on their experiences in school and life.
