Mary came to the Center with 23 years of corporate experience in the financial industry, where she managed large departments and worked to resolve conflicts and keep systems running smoothly. When the pandemic hit, her company reorganized—and unfortunately her position was relocated across the country. It was a tough decision, but because her elderly mother lives here, she decided to give up her job and stay in Connecticut. “I really wanted to work for a nonprofit,” she said. “I had to figure out what I was going to do with myself, and I thought this was a great opportunity with the Entrepreneurial & Women's Business Center. I really enjoy helping people.” As the Center’s administrative assistant, Mary is often the first person that someone meets when they reach out. She answers all the phone and email inquiries, and she helps to match entrepreneurs with their business advisors. She also takes care of invoices and makes sure everyone gets paid in a timely manner. “It’s a great place for me to be. There are so many resources available, and I’m able to learn more about avenues for myself while I’m helping other people.”
