Last week I officially announced that I will not be returning to work after my maternity leave ends later this month.  I, along with Darren, have decided that it was the right time for me to take a break from the corporate world and be a stay at home mom for the forseeable future.  The past 15 years in the financial services world provided me with so many amazing experiences and growth opportunites; ones I will remember for the rest of my life.  Through the years, I have learned so much about myself and developed into a stronger, better person because of the leadership I worked under and the friends I made along the way.  I will always remember my days at the Firm and will cherish every experience I had.  From  the various positions held to the promotions I earned and the travels I took,  I learned more than I ever could have imagined.  I participated in many leadership programs, traveled to several company locations and had the honor of playing a major role in opening up two offices which are an important part of the company’s nearshore/offshore strategy.

My decision was not an easy one but after much thought and consideration I felt that it was in David’s best interest as well as mine if I put my career on hold while I help him discover the world during his formidable years.  These are new and unchartered waters for me but I’m excited for this new phase in my life.  In many ways, I am starting over again and need to find my way.  I am looking into many different social activities and programs in the area so I can meet other stay at home mom’s and give David the opportunity to play with other kids as he becomes more aware of others.  If you live in the Westchester area and have suggestions on activities/programs/classes, etc. or have a little one and would like to get together, please let me know.  I’m super excited to embark on this new journey.

Stay tuned for more updates on my transition into motherhood as a stay at home mom….
