Those in and around Knox County government have grown accustomed to hearing from Frazier. Ten years ago, residents knew they needed a new middle school, and Frazier and the “team” residents began working on it. In August 2018, the new Hardin Valley Middle School opened. “Doing this kind of work is a marathon, not a sprint,” she said.

Her volunteer work at times matches the hours of a full-time job. From where does her passion emanate? “I do this because I was taught to step up when you see a need. If you wait around for someone else, you’ll be waiting a long time. And because people matter the most – above all else,” she said.
