W O M E N I N B U S I N E S S What is your mission? Creating Connections. Elevating Voices. Achieving Excellence. The CEO Leadership Institute gives students a competitive advantage through a 4:1 mentorship model and high impact internships and professional experience. What is your advice for women wanting to start their own business, go back to work, or start a new career in Central Georgia? Macon has so many excellent resources and is such an easy place to get connected. Join the Macon Magazine Women in Business programs! Look at programs NewTown Macon, Macon Chamber, Middle Georgia Regional Library, and Wesleyan College offer (to name just a few of many great resources). My short answer: Don't be afraid to ask for help or connections. In five years I'll make an ambitious collaborative public artwork in Macon, help start Macon Fashion week, visit Greece, Peru, Mexico, and Portugal, and have a solo exhibition somewhere. What has been the most challenging part of being a professional woman? The juggling act. Being okay with balls dropping, but more importantly, figuring out who can juggle with you! I am grateful for my sweet family and Wesleyan College. I couldn't have asked for a better work environment, and incredible people to work with.
