120 Summit at Fritz Farm Ste.155 Lexington • 859.309.9682 TheSummitAtFritzFarm.com Stephanie Bork, marketing manager at The Summit at Fritz Farm, credits a strong sense of community for motivating her to work hard every day. “I love creating exciting events for Lexington, and my friends and family,” she says. “My secret weapon is that I’ve learned that having a little Makers Mark at the end of the day never hurt anyone.” Stephanie realizes there is a struggle for women to be independent and hardworking while avoiding certain labels. “The key is confidence and if you love what you do, you’ll always be your own Beyonce,” she says. “I also have a great group of girlfriends, who are all at different stages of life, so we motivate each other and keep each other from going crazy. Turning off my phone and enjoying a good dinner with my boyfriend, Nathan, and dog, Gary, also help me stay sane.” Krista Wood, leasing manager at The Summit at Fritz Farm, started her career as an attorney, and through a few different steps, made her way into the leasing side of commercial real estate. As a mom of three with a job that sometimes requires travel, Krista knows that life can sometimes feel imbalanced, but the key for her is letting go of unrealistic expectations of how the juggling act should look. She also says that she has learned to not be too proud to ask for help. “If you know me, you know that my secret weapon is my husband, Jordan,” Krista says. “He handles so much for our family, and keeps the kids and dogs alive and happy when I’m traveling. I also rely quite heavily on coffee and unofficial therapy sessions with my sister.” Krista says she looks to other women on her team for inspiration. “I work with supportive women, all of whom have high energy and juggle quite a bit. I think we all motivate each other.”
