Why Cardigan Associates?

Heather Kenvin
Founder of Cardigan Associates

When I was four years old, I first climbed Mt. Cardigan, a 3,156-foot peak in New Hampshire near my grandfather's home. At two hours to ascend via the Clark Trail, it's a perfect trek for me – long enough to get above the tree line and short enough so that I'm not worn out. I've climbed Cardigan with family, old and new friends, and even solo. Each time I hike Cardigan, I find strength in the journey and the solid granite beneath my feet on the mountain's scenic summit. Each time, my climb keeps me balanced and focused on the year ahead. To me, Cardigan has always been synonymous with strength. So, when I launched my business to help women navigating job searches, I knew that I wanted to focus on strength. As the owner of Cardigan Associates, I help you to present the strong experience and skills you bring to your job and to remember the confidence and inner strength you possess.
