Employee Spotlight alert! Our Q4 Company Newsletter was about reflecting on the past year, and our Office Admin and Marketing Assistant, Terry Kim, provided a heartfelt blurb on her first six months at Cornerstone Defense. We loved to hear her sentiment, since creating a positive working environment and supporting our employees work-life balance are two things we certainly strive for. Let us know what you think of Terry's spotlight, and if so, drop us a comment and start a conversation! ?? "As a somewhat recent grad, I wasn’t sure what to expect when transitioning into this new chapter of my life. Throughout high school and college career, I had several part-time jobs, but I don’t recall having any truly memorable or enjoyable experiences at them. I didn’t realize how crucial a positive work environment was until I started here at Cornerstone. On my first day, I was very nervous and unsure, but by the end of it, those nerves faded. The level of positivity in the office made me reflect on how unfair I had felt at my previous jobs, where the negative atmosphere affected my mood, and in turn, my drive and motivation suffered. Having supportive colleagues and managers makes an incredible difference, and the interpersonal relationships that I’ve built here at Cornerstone have made me more eager to come into work every day and give my best. Cornerstone Defense is my first "big girl job," and so far, it’s been filled with nothing but positive, uplifting experiences. I’m looking forward to continuing with such a warm and welcoming company as we transition into 2025!"

February 1st marked my four-year work anniversary at Cornerstone Defense and I couldn’t be more grateful for everything this company has given me! A few weeks ago, we also held our annual Employee Appreciation Celebration, and looking back on both milestones, I wanted to share some moments that show just how much this company means to me. ?? ? Before Cornerstone, I left companies where I felt like just a number on a piece of paper. But at Cornerstone I’ve been given everything and more than I was promised—training, opportunity, and experience that have shaped my career in ways I never imagined. In these four years, I’ve: ? Planned and executed large-scale events ? Stood up and managed websites ? Developed graphic design skills ? Managed huge budgets ? Learned and became engrained in operations and management ? Drafted and oversee company communications ? Worked on many proposals and marketing strategies ? Learned how to analyze website and Google Analytics data ? Managed major projects—and so much more! ? But beyond the work, Cornerstone has given me some of the most inspiring, talented, and knowledgeable colleagues I’ve ever met—and even more importantly, some of the best friends of my life. ?? ? I truly love this company and all that it stands for. Thank you, Cornerstone, for four amazing years! Here's to many more! ??
