Mary Flores

Client Engagement Specialist

Mary is a former military dependent who was born in Germany and permanently resides in Northern Virginia with her husband and her large, blended family. In Mary’s spare time, she loves going to the beach, watching her sons’ sporting events, reading, attending her daughter’s wheelchair basketball games, and spending quality time with her beautiful grandchildren.

While Mary has always had the drive to lend a helping hand, the passion became more personal when her daughter was born with cerebral palsy. Mary is remarkably familiar with the obstacles and stress that one can encounter with a special needs child. Throughout her daughter’s life, she never knew there were so many resources available, nor did she think that her daughter would qualify for selected programs, until she came across Moms In Motion (MIM).

Her goal as she begins her journey with MIM is to educate, promote advocacy, and empower people with the knowledge regarding the various Medicaid waivers available for the elderly and those with disabilities, so that they can be an advocate for themselves or their family members. There is nothing more fulfilling than to see a person obtain the support and care they deserve to live a healthy and happy life.
