Mary was born and raised in Pocatello, Idaho. While attending Idaho State University in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree, she worked for Idaho Farm Bureau, continuing to do so after graduation until she moved to Moscow, Idaho to attend law school at the University of Idaho. She has worked continuously with McKarcher Law since her second year of law school.

During her time in law school, Mary was a member of the Idaho Law Review, serving as an associate editor and then as the journal’s Director of Relations and Input Editor. While in school, Mary received the CALI Excellence for the Future Award in both Federal Income Taxation and Partnership/LLC Taxation, as well as the University of Idaho Alumni Award for Excellence. Mary was proud to provide more than triple the number of hours required by the school’s Pro Bono Service Requirement by supervising the university’s IRS Volunteer Income Tax Assistance Program for two years after first working as a volunteer tax preparer.

Mary is thrilled to have spent the entirety of her legal career practicing with McKarcher Law, where she gets to continue growing her love for helping people, appreciating tax law, and doing work worth doing.
