When her son became a member of the Saint Anne School Forensics team in 2006, she volunteered as a judge and assistant moderator. She became the moderator of the Saint Anne team in 2008 and coached the team at Saint Anne School until the school closed in 2020.MaryAnne is the treasurer and a board member of the Southwest Pennsylvania Forensics League/South.
