When Maggie moved to Nashville in 2011, she was working in the education industry. It wasn’t until she got married the following year that she realized she wanted to work for herself. Ad Astra was born in January of 2013. Her experience as the Director of a tutoring center has taught her the ins and outs of running a successful business and leading a team well, all while balancing client needs. Although she’s no longer discussing ACT scores, she still finds joy when clients tell her that someone from her team lead them to success.
