Mary has spent her life turning dreams into reality through business. Her journey from a young girl with a promising future in her family's business to a serial entrepreneur in the United States is nothing short of extraordinary.

Mary’s story took an unexpected turn when she immigrated to the United States under challenging circumstances, much sooner than her family originally planned. Despite a privileged upbringing in her home country, Mary had to restart her life in the U.S. with very little. Back home, she was being groomed to take over the family business and showed great promise even as a child, particularly in business dealings and operations.

Upon arriving in the U.S., Mary began to rebuild her life and hone her business skills by helping her mother operate her sushi bar businesses. At just 15 years old, she took a bold step and opened her own sushi bar businesses, which she successfully managed throughout high school. This early experience sparked her passion for entrepreneurship and laid the foundation for her future ventures.

After graduating from high school, Mary embarked on a journey to start and run various businesses, always focusing on growth, scaling, and profitability. She learned the intricacies of business operations through hands-on experience and continuously sought opportunities to expand and innovate. Despite facing significant challenges, including surviving domestic violence multiple times, Mary remains committed to building a better future for herself, her children, and her community.

Today, Mary is the co-owner and founder of Second Chances Enterprise LLC, where she serves as the head of operations. With over 20 years of experience in business operations, she is dedicated to the mission of growing and scaling the company while being deeply rooted in community outreach and relationship building. Her journey is filled with opportunities, challenges, and the drive to make a meaningful impact on the world around her.
