Internal Compass, Meet Big Ocean, October 2020By Norma HendricksonSeptember 30, 2020Leave a comment

Tenille Farr loves Big Ocean Women.

Big Ocean Women, Meet Big OceanBy adminAugust 29, 20181 Comment

Pat Frandsen is a member of the media team and shares her skills as a videographer. When I interviewed her, I found she widely shares much more than that.
