  • Coo
    "24/7 On The Frontlines Of Humanity" 2004 - 2010
    Maria Shriver was once quoted "24/7 on the frontlines of Humanity" when describing Motherhood and I certainly found it to be true. I spent these years raising my two wonderful sons. I felt the need to give this job the same 110% I give to every job and the rewards were well worth it. I also immersed myself in the school system and community as a member of both the Community Relations and Legislative Committee under the Board of Education all while sneaking peeks at AdAge and Adweek to keep abreast of the industry. When both boys were full-time in school, I knew it was time to return to the industry I loved!
