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 3:30 AM 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!”

Tom Frey: A hero. The New York Police Detective began his 9/11 shift like any other day. Due to inhaling dust and debris at Ground Zero, he acquired cancer and, eventually, Pulmonary Fibrosis. He is now an advocate for the PF Foundation and speaks nationally about his service to this country.
Pulmonary Fibrosis
- September marks Pulmonary Fibrosis Awareness Month.
- There is currently no known cure for PF.
- Those 60+ are most at-risk to develop pulmonary fibrosis, despite 91% of this age group not knowing what the disease is and 96% having never discussed the disease with their doctor.
- As PF is quite rare, many individuals, specifically the elderly, can dismiss the common symptom of a cough and breathing fatigue as a cold or other illness.
- Patients who use masks and breathing equipment are experiencing heightened stressors in public due to COVID-19.
