Growing up, I always thought I’d move to Seattle after college. I’d never been there to visit – and still haven’t to this day. Yet something about the Emerald City was really attractive to me.

At present, however, I am happily residing in New York City. Thoughts of moving to Seattle are the furthest thing from my mind. NYC is the “urb” to my suburban hometown in Connecticut. It is also the place that I attended college. And now, it is the home to all of my new colleagues and friends at CooperKatz. 

 Looking back over the past year, a moment that stands out is finishing my master’s degree in communication. But what I am truly grateful for is that I live in a country that supports the freedoms of women to be educated, live independently and support ourselves financially. 

In addition to the 8 million people in New York City, there are also approximately 1.1 million cats and dogs living the city life.

Twelve of those dogs and cats are part of the CooperKatz family. One of them is mine.

As we head toward the holiday season, the CooperKatz team wanted to take some time to reflect on all that we are grateful for.

As such, we have chosen to mark November as our Month of Gratitude.  Each day throughout the month, a member of the CK team will post something they are thankful for on our different social media channels.  Read on to learn more…
