Mary was born in Paterson, NJ, and grew up in Puglia, Italy. Her passion for dance blossomed at a very early age, serving as an outlet to escape bullying and anxiety. But her love for the arts extended beyond dance. She studied art in high school at Liceo Artistico Carlo Levi in Matera, Italy, before moving to Bologna to pursue her education at the Academy of Art.
A year after relocating to Bologna, her dance career took off. She began performing at major events and with Italian artists, teaching dance to the next generation, and winning "Best Choreography" at dance competitions for three consecutive years. Her sensitivity and creativity set her apart both on and off stage.
Mary traveled extensively across Europe to train with the best in the industry and expand her expertise in commercial dance. In 2016, a trip to New York changed her life forever. Eight years later, she has made a name for herself, training with top professionals in the field and thriving as a professional dancer and choreographer in the city.
