Memorable Moment @ Frontier
One of my favorite moments was the Atlanta retreat to the Southern Cross Guest Ranch with Alexa, Amelia, Shari, and Cate. As someone with limited horseback riding experience, I was initially nervous about participating, but the team was incredibly supportive, helpful, and patient throughout the retreat. Not only did I have fun, but it was incredible to see how we work together and support one another outside of client calls and team meetings!
