As a Major Gift Officer at Shelburne Farms, Mary is responsible for cultivating enduring relationships with supporters and raising resources that grow the Shelburne Farms' mission. Originally from outside Rochester, NY, Mary frequently visited Vermont each summer to see family in Hubbardton before settling in Burlington for college, where she remained. Prior to joining Shelburne Farms, Mary worked in annual giving and donor relations for nearly a decade at her alma mater, Champlain College. Outside of work, you can find her exploring Vermont's mountains through skiing and hiking, and spending time with her partner and their four pets – two dogs and two cats.
