She has more than 20 years of experience as an international art director in the publishing industry. For the last 13 years, Mary has owned and managed a graphic design business. Mary's goal is to take her experience as an art director to conceptualize, design and package the best short-term rental program for property owners in Charlotte, Lake Norman and Concord, North Carolina.
Mary was born and raised in Miami, Florida. Her parents were immigrants from Cuba, and taught her the value of working toward your dreams. Mary's dream started to become a reality when she and Marco moved to the Carolinas with hopes of having a family and a better life.
As the family grew, Mary continued to operate her graphic design business. After being self-employed, starting iTrip Vacations Charlotte was a natural progression. Her role in the company was inspired by the things she loves: art and vacationing with her beloved family. In addition to designing, Mary enjoys hiking, kayaking, ziplining, white-water rafting … you name it! It is this appreciation for nature that led the Ceccarellis to the dream of bringing experiences to vacationers visiting the Charlotte, Lake Norman, and Concord areas.
As a Latina entrepreneur, supporting diversity and small businesses is very important to Mary. She wants to inspire and empower women to believe in themselves and their capabilities.
