Florida Director
Mary Beth serves as the Florida Director for the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation and works out of Naples, Florida. She is responsible for the foundation’s five-county areas of interest in Florida. Mary Beth performs site visits, prepares evaluations, and offers recommendations while serving as our liaison to the numerous charitable organizations in Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry & Lee counties.
Before working for the Richard M. Schulze Family Foundation, Mary Beth served as the assistant principal of a school in north-central Florida. She also worked as the director of a faith-based education program for a parish serving more than 400 students. Mary Beth’s responsibilities in those roles included overseeing teachers, selecting curriculum, and working with parents to best advance the educational needs of their children.
Originally from New Jersey, Mary Beth moved to Florida 25 years ago where she graduated from Saint Leo University. She then went on to attain her master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Florida Gulf Coast University. Mary Beth lives in Naples, Florida, and appreciates the opportunity to travel north, the Midwest, and overseas to visit her children and soak up the changes of seasons. Cold weather and snow are tolerable — but only for very short periods of time!
