About Mary Ann

In addition to her freelance work, she currently serves as the co-editor of DeSoto Magazine ~ Exploring the South, a regional publication based in the Memphis Metropolitan Area.
A graduate of the University of Southern Mississippi, Mary Ann has a B.A. degree in journalism with a marketing minor. In 2005, she completed a post-baccalaureate certificate in Educational Leadership from the University of Florida.
