Spotlight On: Mary Austin
My name is Mary Austin. I have three children; Michael 42, Jovonna 39, and Stacey 29. I grew up in Bridgeport, CT. I then moved to Anaheim, CA., in 1981, where I worked for a law firm in Tustin for several years.
In 1996, I moved to Atlanta, GA and landed a job in the finance department of a major corporation. I remained in the finance industry for several years. I loved living in Georgia. I worked part-time at Stacey’s school as a computer teacher for Pre-Kindergarten. Also, I landed a job on the weekend as a Leasing Agent at my current resident.
In 2000, I moved to Jamaica Queens, New York. I was offered a promotion to work with the Credit and Collections Manager. In New York, I attended plays, restaurants, and children’s events. In 2001, I moved back to my hometown and commuted by train to New York. I really enjoyed taking my mother shopping and talking to my father.
By 2012, I lost both of my parents and decided to move back to beautiful California. Currently, I’m raising my grandkids; Hayleigh 5 and Chase 3. I love taking them to the library, movies, social events, and I make education their priority.
In 2017, I earned my MBA with a concentration in Human Resources. Even though I am serving in
a different field, I truly enjoy working at Ability Counts. Tiana makes sure I’m learning the industry and making an impact on the job as well as my personal growth.
I look forward to my future in California.
Cynthia Andrade is our new Human Resources Manager. Her main office is in Corona, but she will visit all the sites during the week.
