Consejo de J\u00f3venes Profesionales<\/a>, Mary is currently working toward a master\u2019s degree in horticulture at the University of Georgia in Athens, Georgia.\u00a0She\u00a0graduated from the same institution two years ago with an already impressive C.V. Among other activities, she interned at Walt Disney World Resort\u2019s Epcot theme park (supported by an AFE Vic and Margaret Ball internship\/scholarship), testing new floral cultivars for production, maintaining crops and displays, and conducting tours for guests.<\/p>Sharing the results of her project, Mary reveals an infectious enthusiasm that will serve the industry well in years to come. \u201cI just really enjoy the work that I do,\u201d she says. \u201cI know that Ecke was a proponent of doing the new and unusual. And I\u2019m grateful that my research has produced some things that are new and exciting and beyond anything I had dreamed.\u201d<\/p>
Mary also expresses gratitude for the encouragement and mentoring she has received from her professors and others in the horticulture world\u2014and for the critical financial support of the Paul Ecke, Jr. scholarship.<\/p>
