About us
At She Goes High, we support the human behind the business, not the human as a business.
We want to know who you are... not just what you do. Ditch the elevator pitch and join our community of women and non-binary leaders!
She Goes High is not your average networking group. We're not even really a networking group.
What makes us different?
We're a community of women and non-binary humans empowering, educating, and encouraging each other as we grow in life and business.
Women and non-binary people are excellent leaders and cycle-breakers- yet, despite how far we've come, there still aren't nearly as many women and non-binary people represented in leadership roles, and finding success in business compared to cis men. To shift this dynamic, it is our belief that we need to be advocates for each other, first and foremost.
That's where we come in. At She Goes High, we don't focus solely on either our personal or professional lives. We've created a community that helps women rise together, in all areas of life, so that we may gain confidence, step into greater leadership roles, take up more space in the world, and make an impact in our communities.
With local groups and events around Northern Colorado, She Goes High is empowering women and non-binary people in Fort Collins and beyond!
- Building relationships, not transactions
We believe building community is the best way to build ourselves. Ditch the elevator pitch and join a community of humans who care about who you are, not just what you do.
- Accessibility for all women and non-binary folx
We're all in different phases of business and career, and it's important to us to offer support for people in all walks of life. Our regular monthly lunch and learn events are always free! For those wanting more of what this community has to offer, our Impact Membership is for you!
- Encouragement to show up just as you are
Authenticity is a beautiful thing. At She Goes High, we invite you to show up just as you are - no need to fake a smile or "put on your game face!" We know you are enough, just as you are- masking not required.
- Business, career, and personal development
At our free monthly events, our presenters cover a wide range of topics, from marketing to mental health and beyond - because taking care of business also means taking care of ourselves! We support the human behind the business, not the human as a business.
- Created by introverts, for introverts
Not into the schmoozy stuff? Neither are we! That's why we focus on creating a safe and welcoming space for introverts ( because let's face it - the extroverts will show up anyway)!
- Neurodiversity is welcome here!
Most of our leadership team and many of our members are neurodivergent. Our events are designed to be accessible and enjoyable for neurospicy and neurotypical folx.
- Queer safe space
We're queer founded and operated, and our space is safe for LBTQIA+. We're here to welcome and celebrate YOU, just as you are! (Yay!)

ABOUT OUR PRESENTATION:
Using a conversational/interactive approach, we’ll walk through the 4 questions: 1) what do I want my money to do for me? (Pay bills, grow, help my kids, donate, give me time freedom, etc are options). Depending on how we want our money to work for us, the following questions can help guide how we plan our financial decisions. These questions are also useful to ask anyone you may be working with (bankers, advisors, planners etc.). Within each question, we’ll share stories and specific examples of how these characteristics can impact our money: 2) How is my money growing? (Ways to grow/save, how to know how your interest rate is working for or against you, what to know about inflation) 3) How will my money be taxed? (Tax implications for different types of accounts and why it can matter). 4) When can I access my money? Rules on different accounts about how/when to access—ie different examples and how this can affect how you use your money, plus how those of us who may have been marginalized can begin to leverage our options and find agency through non-traditional options.
ABOUT OUR PRESENTER:
As an artist and financial professional, I help you learn to live in creativity AND abundance, by your own design and it’s my intent to empower others with more confidence in their financial decisions with an education. Having grown up on a farm north of Fort Collins, I love nature, food grown with love, and am quite obsessed with animals and all they have to teach us. Professionally, I work with a team of experienced advisors and partner with A rated companies to offer full-scope, holistic financial strategies designed around your goals.

Inside the space, you can find us in the boardroom. Once you come into the building it is the big room with the double doors between the two hallways. The space is set up with long tables in a circle. There are regular height chairs with soft backs and seats positioned on the outside of the circle at the table. As you go towards the back of the room, you’ll find a window that connects the kitchen to the boardroom. You can get complimentary coffee and tea by moving through the open doorway to the kitchen.
Restrooms can be accessed by continuing to the back, past the kitchen. Once you can’t go back anymore, turn to the left, and bathrooms are on the right. They have doors that push open. There is 1 ADA accessible toilet and 1 non-ADA accessible toilet.
