Marys career in the world of performing arts dates back to when she was just a small child. Whilst attending
dance school from the age of four it soon became apparent that Mary had inherited her family's natural performing abilities. Marys great Aunt was a professional opera singer and regularly performed at the Royal Albert Hall. Her mother and her grandmother also performed on the stage throughout their lives. As a youngster Mary was always 'queen of the dance floor'.
Marys work today spans right across the entertainment industry. She has worked professionally as an actress, dancer,
model, presenter and a voice over artist. Marys career to date has taken her all the over world.
