After earning a BA in English from the University of Virginia, Lucie André moved to New York with few skills beyond waitressing and reading. Her love of art, people, and art-people led her to fundraising and other facets of capacity building. She was fortunate to work for some of the best organizations out there, the Paul Taylor Dance Company, American Ballet Theatre, and Cooper Union among them. 

In Atlanta she and her husband renovated a house with one hand and raised a daughter with the other. As she coached, consulted, and communicated with Lucid Advising clients, she dreamed of being a writer.

Now in Baltimore, she is.
