  Frontier Academy

  Experience Producer

  Between hosting Frontier Academy professional development workshops, handling the gifts sent to our clients, and managing our social networks, it is my job to communicate effectively with our clients and friends. I make sure they know we are detail-oriented, forward-thinking, and completely engaged. I get to work with some of the best minds (and personalities) in VA, and I'm inspired and challenged every single day.

  The Frontier Project

  Sept 2015 - Jan 2024

  Bookkeeper and Parents' Liaison

  The left side of my brain is satiated each day through the work I do as the sole bookkeeper for The Frontier Project and it's three subsidiaries, Frontier Press, Frontier Live and Frontier Academy. The right side of my brain is thrilled by the job of developing and implementing our Parent's Liaison program. Not sure what that is? You're not alone, but I'm betting that in ten years you would be. So let's get you ahead of that curve: I support our parents as they navigate growing their family and balancing that with work. Whether that's by creating a haven for our nursing mothers, curating resources from around the community, or facilitating travel for a nursing mother, I operate under the assumption that doing work that you love and being a kick-ass parent are not mutually exclusive, and—when properly supported—can even be mutually beneficial.
