Mary Ann Curtis has been actively involved in management and volunteer work at nonprofit organizations for 15 years.

During graduate school, Mary Ann found herself searching for an organization that deliberately strikes at the root of poverty rather than one that unintentionally contributes to the cycle of dependency. When introduced to Care for Life, Mary Ann knew she had found what she was looking for. It is in nonprofit work that her natural inclination for process efficiency organization skills and poverty alleviation interests have found a place to fully take root.

If Mary Ann is not exploring desert red rock country, she can be found hiking, trail running, or lugging a standup paddleboard to a remote lake in the mountains with her husband – and occasionally with their three coerced children in tow. In her few spare minutes, you can find Mary Ann lost in a book, covered in paint, or working magic in her garden.
