Some professionals learn leadership in boardrooms. Mya Murdock learned it on a 500-acre farm in upstate New York. Her earliest lessons came from stacking firewood with her family, riding horses through the woods, and cooking alongside her mom and sister. “Everything in my childhood taught me to finish what I start,” she says. “And to take care of the things—and people—around me.”

Today, Mya is an operations manager, independent sales professional, and emerging entrepreneur. Her path blends creativity, discipline, and heart. And while she works in the apparel and retail world, her approach still reflects those early values: work hard, stay kind, and make things with intention.
