With a strong foundation in operations, Mari has coordinated projects and managed production schedules for both various media projects and most recently for television and film- documentary series aired on Citytv and AMI. She supported directors and producers through all stages of production, handled team logistics, set safety, bookkeeping, and ensured smooth communication across departments. Her earlier government roles sharpened her administrative and organizational skills. Through various provincial and federal positions, she gained experience in data entry, client services, records management, and office operations - always bringing professionalism, efficiency, and attention to detail.

Outside of work, Mari is passionate about health and well-being. You'll often find her at the gym, out walking her big dog, or at home enjoying quiet moments with her cat. She also finds joy in the simple things - bowling, paddleboarding, fishing, or capturing moments with her camera. A lover of connection and new experiences, she’s always up for trying a new coffee shop or restaurant with friends and family. A creative soul, she also enjoys crocheting, reading, and traveling to keep her mind open and inspired. Constantly learning, always growing, Mari brings warmth, presence, and purpose to everything she does.
