A natural leader, Mary has kept the PortiCo team focused and entertained for more than a decade. She loves to travel, garden and cook. A devoted foodie, Mary will pull all stops to get a tasty meal or savor a local delicacy. She is an award-winning documentary filmmaker who maintains that real life is vastly more interesting than fiction. Her most recent work, Vieques: Worth Every Bit of Struggle won Best Documentary in the 2006 New Screen Vision Awards. Her film, The Most Unknowable Thing, was selected as part of The New Documentaries (2000) series at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The film was also nominated for a 2000 International Documentary Association (IDA) Achievement Award.

Mary has been with PortiCo from the gritty beginnings of the company, when together with Caroline and Harriet she drudged through the thick and thin of everything from filming and analysis to final presentation. She continues to creatively lead the artistry of PortiCo's film editing process. Currently she is an instructor at the School of Visual Arts in NYC.

After almost twenty years in NYC, Mary is adapting well to life on 50 acres in the woods of Massachusetts with her two dogs, Rio and Misha and two cats, Chula and Mona.
