Most days you can find Mary working at her below minimum wage job, where she makes handcrafted drinks and rakes in thousands of dollars for the company (they should be so lucky to have her!) If she isn’t changing lives at work or finishing all her homework days ahead of time, you can often find her spending all her money on different fun drinks or driving around the lakes, wasting her gas. New to her personality trait is being the manager of the BSM Dance Team, she can’t wait for the season to start. Go Knightettes! Mary loves supporting her school at different events and cannot wait to be crowned Mrs. BSM!
