Meet Maggie
I never expected to start an award-winning non-profit or become a social entrepreneur. But nine years after my “one-year” leave of absence from teaching English Language Arts to marginalized high schoolers, that was exactly where I found myself.
It began as a suspicion that our students could be more successful with access to basic culinary skills. By following that curiosity, I not only unearthed the scientific evidence to prove it — I began developing programs and curriculum that would go on to serve thousands of kids.
In 2019, I stepped away from my unplanned solo-preneur role to help other vision-holders build systems, plan projects, and run businesses using the get-it-done skills I’ve learned along the way.
By weaving strategy between public systems and private business, we create responsive solutions and meaningful change.
