Editor’s Note:
Expressing gratitude for each other is a core component of the Terakeet culture. Throughout the year, employees recognize each other on a regular basis in order to show appreciation and give thanks. For example, weekly company-wide meetings serve as a platform for employees to shout each other out and recognize a job well done. But as tradition goes — there’s no better time to say “thank you” than the holiday season. So, we’re highlighting shout outs from those across the company who wish to recognize their colleagues. Read on to see the gratitude and value our team brings to the table.

I am thankful to Jamie Layhew for not only being a hard-working and dedicated coworker, but for being an amazing friend. Finding someone to support you endlessly and keep you motivated is hard, but I can count on Jamie no matter what!
Robyn Tevepaugh shouts out Ashish Jacob

Neca Johnson shouts out Wen Li

I am so grateful to my mentor Maggie Peterson. She has been more than a tremendous help from the start, and continues to be one of my main supports here at Terakeet! She’s always contributing positive and helpful feedback and never hesitates to share resources for all team members to benefit from!!
In addition, I’m beyond grateful to my Outreach Manager Emily Terzini for her fast thinking and flexibility. While I’ve been out unexpectedly for jury duty, Emily and my teammate Katherine Ryan have done more than enough to keep my inbox afloat and stay on top of writing, articles, and tricky publishers for me!
Anne Holub shouts out Ashley Timms
I’m thankful for my fellow Content teammate, Ashley Timms (aka AT), who I can always ask questions of, or send silly memes to, any time of the day! She makes me feel like I’m not going overboard with my wild ideas, and inspires me as a manager!
