Michelle's Story
Life
I moved to Glendale, CA in December 1987. I began my career in 401(k) Plan Recordkeeping at that time in Los Angeles. I've been in this industry for 20 years now. I never finished college, but it's been a great career and I've really enjoyed the work.
I was married in June 1994 to William Chau - we met at Pepper's in City of Industry in 1989 and dated for 5 years before getting married. We moved to Phoenix, AZ in December of 1994 so that he could finish his college degree in Aeronautical Science.
We moved back to LA in October of 1996 - I began working at Union Bank of California and stayed there for 9 years. We bought a house in Sylmar, CA and we were happy for quite some time.
In late June of 2005 we split up and began our divorce. I moved to Boston, MA in November 2005 and am now working at New York Life in Westwood, MA. I'm a 2nd VP of Client Services and manage 4 of the 8 Administration Teams which consists of approxi...Expand for more
mately 28 people. I really enjoy the work and my 20 years of experience is becoming very useful. It's the first time in a very long time that I'm not working long hours or weekends and am able to have more life balance.
I got a puppy named Lily in December '05 - she's a Bernese Mountain Dog and is my constant companion. She was 8 weeks old when I got her, she weighed 7 lbs. She's now 2 years old and weighs 90 lbs. We are a certified Therapy Dog Team and do Therapy Dog work on the weekends. We visit nursing homes and convelescent hospitals on the weekends - Lily is a superstar - she makes a lot of people really happy and that makes me happy.
I bought a beautiful home in Kingston, MA in June of 2006 and am getting very comfortable now in Massachusetts. So far the winters have been mild so I'm getting time to adjust easily to the cold and changes in seasons.
I miss my friends and family from LA but we all keep in touch frequently.
