Mary Aguiar

Mary joined BEST in December 2002 as a behavior therapist and, over more than two decades, has supported hundreds of clients and their families with care, patience, and dedication. She later became a floating trainer, focusing on training new staff and helping them build confidence in their roles. That hands-on experience gives her a deep understanding of the people and mission at the heart of the organization.

​

In 2023, Mary joined the operations team as HR Coordinator and Talent Scout, where she is dedicated to finding and welcoming the next generation of BEST team members. In spring 2026, she earned a Human Resources Management certification, strengthening her work in building and supporting a strong, compassionate team.

Outside of work, Mary enjoys listening to podcasts, paddleboarding, and hiking.
