Meet  Mary Katherine

MK brings over 25 years of educational leadership and deep institutional expertise to her consulting practice. A former business professional turned Head of School, she bridges the gap between high-level strategy and the everyday realities of modern leadership.

Institutional Leadership & Strategy
For 17 years, MK served as the Head of School at St. Alban’s Episcopal Day School in Harlingen, Texas. During her tenure, she oversaw the complex mechanics of independent school management, driving success across critical operational areas:
  • Strategic Growth: Led comprehensive enrollment strategies, financial planning, and robust organizational development initiatives.
  • Capital Expansion: Spearheaded a joint capital campaign with St. Alban’s Episcopal Church, resulting in over $3.5 million in facility renovations and new construction.
  • Sustainable Funding: Established a powerful annual giving campaign and worked on a signature joint fundraising event that benefited both the church and school.

Governance & Advocacy
MK's influence extends across regional and national independent school networks. Her extensive service includes:
  • Director of Professional Learning for the Southwestern Association of Episcopal Schools (SAES).
  • Bishop’s Deputy for Episcopal Schools for the Episcopal Diocese of West Texas.
  • 12+ years of accreditation leadership, serving on and chairing on-site evaluation teams for SAES and participating in teams for ISAS, and SAIS.


The Enneagram Shift
MK began her Enneagram journey in 2017. Discovering she was a Type 7 sparked a profound commitment to studying the framework—not just for personal growth, but as a disruptive tool for executive self-awareness. Today, she combines her marketing background (BBA, Texas Tech) and advanced business training (Master’s in Real Estate, Texas A&M) with Enneagram-backed strategies to help purpose-driven leaders navigate high-stakes decisions with clarity and confidence.
