After 20 years of working in advertising, I have resigned my post as CFO / COO of the United Collective. My career reached heights that I never dreamt would have been possible from the very first "Gatehouse Greeter" aka receptionist at TBWA\Chiat\Day back in 1998 to becoming the very first CFO / COO of the United Collective in 2017. I am so grateful for all of the experiences that I have had and for all of the incredible and talented people that I have had the opportunity to work with.

I am proud of the success that I have had in my career. The last 20 years have been filled with hard work…really hard work…late nights, weekends, travel and an inability to disconnect from my job, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. This career has allowed me to show my children that hard work is the path to success, and I have had immense personal growth from all of my experiences.

However, the past couple years have been a bit of an internal struggle as I tried to find the right balance of being the mother that I wanted to be for my boys while being the type of leader that I wanted to be at work. So, when my husband came to me and told me that he had a career opportunity in London that would allow me to be a stay-at-home mom for our boys, I was shocked at first and then after the shock wore off I was thankful. Thankful for the opportunity to provide our children with the experience of living abroad, thankful for the opportunity to allow me to be present as their mother, and thankful for the support that my husband has given me throughout my career.

Suffice it to say that I am excited to announce that I have taken on a new role as full time mother and wife in London! I am hopeful that I will be just as successful in this career as I was in my last career, supporting the success of my husband and children as they continue to grow and flourish.

I know that I will miss advertising and all of the wonderful and amazing people that I have had the opportunity to work with throughout the years. I also know that I won’t be able to stay away forever. So, this is not a goodbye to advertising….it’s a goodbye for now and thank you for everything.
