EP 17

Earning Your Resilience to Successfully Navigate Life

with Nina Woodruff-Walker




Matt Story | 8/2/2020


Nina Woodruff-Walker is a product of her father's resourceful southern roots and her mother's east cost grit. While on her path to become a VP in technology sales, she was presented with an opportunity to become the Executive Director of Museum of Children's Art...an organization she grew up with as a youth in Oakland. While it wasn't in her plan, she realized it was the role she had always talked about doing. In our conversation, Nina shares her unique story that combines the importance of education, alternative thinking and building communities.
