ToucanEd Staff

Mary Ellen Cunningham is working with both the Marketing and Development departments, under the direction of Program Manager Debbie Fontes and ToucanEd President Kathleen Middleton. Mary Ellen has a BA in English, which makes her a great asset when it comes to editing and proofing projects. She also researches prospective customers and assists with conceptualizing and writing mailers and e-mail advertising.

Mary Ellen joined the ToucanEd team in 2010. She brings an impressive range of experience to the table, which makes her a flexible and versatile employee. For example, she’s worked as a bookkeeper and a credit manager, so she’s got terrific customer service and organizational skills. She also owned and operated her own retail business for many years, so she’s very well versed in sales and marketing. We’re lucky to have Mary Ellen, and she says she’s happy to be here, since she can finally use her educational background in English.

Mary Ellen has lived on the Santa Cruz coast since 1975. She and her husband Gary are very proud of their son Patrick, who is presently serving in the U.S. Air Force and working on his master’s degree; and their daughter Ellen, who is in college studying to become a veterinary technician.
