Transformation Story Series

Kathryn Duval got the job as Development Director of MAG America (Mines Advisory Group), but left the interview convinced it was a flop. She had celebrated her mother for half of the interview when responding to the question: who inspires you? She credits her mother, Susan, not only for the job (ha!), but also for an incredible upbringing through the personal sacrifices she made for her family. Despite graduating as Valedictorian of her high school class, she didn't have the chance to get her advanced university degree until she was into her 60s, after which she landed her dream job at the Burchfield Penny Art Center in Buffalo, NY.
