Congratulations Miss May - Julia!!

A huge congratulations to Julia, our Staff Member of the Month for May! Julia received multiple nominations this month, proving that whether she's running meetings, welcoming guests, or keeping the team in line, she's making a big impression across the business.

No matter which department Julia finds herself working in, she tackles every task with a smile on her face, gets the job done, and makes our customers feel genuinely welcome and important. Whether it's a busy day at the front desks or Café, or dealing with the endless stream of questions that come with operating a world-class facility, Julia always brings positivity and professionalism.

Julia has also recently stepped into the role of Front Desk Supervisor and is absolutely knocking it out of the park. She's embraced the challenge with enthusiasm, confidence, and just the right amount of patience required to successfully wrangle our drive team – a task many consider somewhere between herding cats and managing a travelling circus. Julia's willingness to step up, support her teammates, and keep things running smoothly has not gone unnoticed.

Thank you for everything you do, Julia. Highlands is lucky to have you on the team.
