It’s all about the hustle. If you’re constantly out-hustling and outworking everyone around you, then opportunities come to you.
About Mary
- I went to Texas Tech University after high school with the ultimate dream of earning my degree in restaurant and hotel management, moving to an island, and feeling like I’m on a permanent vacation.
- Three years into college, I found out my mom had cancer, so I left school to take care of her.
- I set down roots, started a family, and didn’t end up going back to college—however, going back and completing my degree was always in the back of my mind.
- During this time, I got a job at an apartment management company and worked there for 20 years.
- The property I worked for was sold and they didn’t have a place for me besides the IT department—I didn’t have any IT experience but I had a knack for it, so I gave it a try and ended up loving it!
- In 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit and my kids were all completing their schoolwork online, I decided that this was also my shot to go back to school.
- I’m currently working as a digital workspace engineer during the day and going to school at night in order to finish my degree so that I can move up in the company.
