In what started out as a personal journey to reclaim her sanity, alumna Kayla Pendleton founded a thriving community of women.

Her Space, a Business Center for Women, started out as Kayla's search for personal human interaction while working remotely from home as a marketing employee in San Diego. Her loneliness and isolation led her to hope that someone had caught on to the co-working model she envisioned, until one day she realized, "What if I did it? Maybe I’m supposed to do it."

Kayla settled in North Fresno and opened the doors to Her Space. Today, the space is home to about forty members whose access ranges from collaborative spaces to private offices.

In catering Her Space toward the female business professional, Kayla hopes to teach women “what to do, what not to do, and how to be successful.”

“As a woman in business, you face totally different problems than men would, and at the end of the day, I really wanted to focus on those needs,” she said.
