Joining the Tupelo Press Teen Writing Center has given her more time to explore her voice. Mary has volunteered with the Albemarle High School litmag, the Lantern, and the Tupelo Press Teen Writing Center as an editor, organizer, and proofreader. She enjoys all forms of writing but her forte is poetry, with several published pieces. She looks forward to pursuing this into her adulthood, as she could not imagine a future without writing in it. Besides writing, Mary enjoys filming movies and coaching synchronized swimming.
