Ines Wullimann
Graduate Program Manager for the Mill Spring/Tryon Areas and Animal Husbandry Coordinator

Ines’ trepidation about the “empty nest syndrome” and how to fulfill her own life is no longer a concern now that she mentors (and mothers) our residents in the Mill Spring/Tryon Graduate Program.  She may be a linguist but the language she really loves is the language of life and guiding residents.  Ines and her Graduate Program Staff recently moved to their new headquarters, “The Chalet” on the ground level of the Red Brick House, around the corner from CooperRiis.

Ines is also our Animal Husbandry Coordinator and it is a joy to watch her and Brittany Amiss Dean engage and comfort our residents in the care of a growing menagerie of animals: miniature horses, donkeys, sheep, lamas, goats, chickens, bunnies, dogs, and cats, rabbits and….

Ines was born and grew up in Switzerland and earned a degree in education. She is married to Markus Wullimann, our Operations Director. Together they have four children and two grandchildren.
