Magic Monday:

It’s Magic Monday: October 7, 2019 

This month we celebrate a Woman of Mercy who exemplifies that a Mercy Girl is hard-working, committed to service to others, and is proud of her school.

Name: Marylee Pearl Robinson
Mercy Class Year: 1996
Adviser: Ms. Elizabeth Lambertus
Post Mercy Education:
BS, Finance, University of Maryland, College Park, 2000
MBA, Concentration in Accounting, Loyola University Maryland, 2006

Personal and Professional Achievements:
As a managing director in the Baltimore office of Stout, a global advisory and consulting firm, I work to unravel complex financial crimes and offer expert testimony in fraud and commercial litigation disputes. My career in forensic accounting has included work around healthcare fraud, patent litigation, and bankruptcy and insolvency consulting.
Outside of work, I have been an active volunteer with my college sorority and, most recently, with Mercy. I served as treasurer of the Sigma Kappa Sorority Corporation Board at the University of Maryland for 19 years. Now a board member-at-large, I help to manage the sorority house, which is home to 33 members each school year. I am in my first term as a member of the Mercy board of trustees. Mercy’s strategic forward momentum makes this an exciting time to be involved with the school.

I have been married for 17 years to my loving and supportive husband, Matt.  Our son, Ian, is eleven and, as a family, our weekends are often spent on the soccer field.

Please share a favorite Mercy memory: 
In my senior year, my AP Psychology exam was scheduled on the same day as a lacrosse playoff game.  I took that exam in my lacrosse uniform and then ran to catch the bus to play in the game…definitely a stressful day that really epitomizes the student-athlete experience! 

Were there any classes you took at Mercy that stand out to you? Why? 
Sr. Carol Wheeler’s Philosophy class was a truly special experience.  In this small class, we read articles selected by Sr. Carol and then prepared both oral and written reflections. Sr. Carol challenged us in many ways, particularly in our writing.
