Quick Overview of the Podcast

Courtney Dean, Exec. Director with Frontier Management always felt “behind” in education. She took the nontraditional route after high school and was married at 19. She followed her husband who was in the US Air Force to different states and countries - and she waited on edge through his rotations in Iraq and Afghanistan. It was then that Courtney became employed by the USAF in lodging and hospitality.

As her work experience grew, she couldn’t help but feel like a late bloomer when pursuing higher education. During her quest for education, Courtney continued to work full-time, some semesters commuting 2 hours North through the snow to get to night classes. Other semesters were spent waking up at 3:30AM to study and complete lectures before a full day of work.

In May 2021, at 28 years old, Courtney became a first-generation college graduate. Her advice: It’s never “too late” to START, you’re never “too old” to LEARN, and life is never “too busy” to DO!”
