Mary Renee Presley

Born and raised on the west side of Chicago, Mary Renee learned very quickly she was never going to fit in. She believed that academics could take her where she needed to go. She received all A’s and participated in Beta Clubs and Academic Decathlons. She had no one telling her to aim high, She set the bar for myself. She was accepted to one of the top high schools in Chicago. Through her hard work, she received a full-ride scholarship to college. She then became the first sibling to graduate college and study abroad.

Mary Renee decided to leave her marketing agency career to fulfill a deeper purpose. 'I wish I had someone telling me to be great and to shoot for the stars. For me faith paved the way.'
