Taking Care of Nature and Yourself: From childhood dreams of becoming a marine biologist to launching her own environmental consulting firm, Ashley Noseworthy’s story is a testament to passion and perseverance. How did Ashley turn a long-held idea into a thriving business? Recognizing a market gap in 2010, it took nearly a decade for Ashley to start her business. But there was a problem she needed to solve, even if it meant stepping into the unknown. Ashley talks about her transition from full-time employment to entrepreneurship, the growing importance of an environmental lens, and why it’s okay to not have all the credentials before diving in. Her advice? You don’t need to do, or know, it all—learn as you go and give yourself grace.
