In this article, Stephanie Judd is featured in a VoyageATL interview and shared her journey from college to building Wolf & Heron, as well as the challenges she faced day-to-day.

Hi Stephanie, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?

”My path has been circuitous but also not all that unexpected in hindsight. I graduated with a Computer Science degree. At school, I was good at it, but it didn’t take long for me to figure out that being an engineer and a developer wasn’t a great fit for me in the job market. Then began a long journey of soul searching that took me to several countries on three continents across four different industries (I worked in public health, energy, micro-finance, and in the nonprofit world). I finally went to grad school in Michigan in part because I needed a “comma” in my career to reflect and regroup. While there, I finally articulated that my favorite part of every project or experience I’d taken on until that point had been getting others inspired to care about it too.”
