Mary Mancini

Mary Mancini

Since moving to Nashville in 1991, Mary Mancini has followed an entrepreneurial career path marked by rewarding adventures in music, tech, media, advocacy, and community outreach. During a career transition, she taught herself audio recording, editing and podcast production, and brought those skills with her to her role as a multimedia producer at WPLN’s This is Nashville. When she’s not busy asking questions, watching Mets baseball and Canucks hockey, or spending time with family and friends, she’s fighting the urge to adopt another dog.
