3 months agobeen holding off on this one simply because it’s been incredibly hard to find the words to say what’s in my heart.
this past week I said goodbye to my dream job. if you’re thinking, who dreams of work? normally I would agree with you. but for the past half a decade, I have been incredibly fortunate to wake up every day and do what I love with people I love. if you were to tell me this time last year that I would be making the choice to step away from the atlanta hawks and move home to cincinnati, i would’ve told you you’re crazy. but life happens, and no matter how much you try to control it, sometimes you just have to waive your white flag.
so with that, the tillinghast crew is headed back home where I can prioritize my health and my family for a bit – which also means, leaving my beloved hawks family. there are not enough words in the world (or slides on instagram) to express my gratitude and love that I have for this organization and all of the people that are in it.
to the hawks organization – thank you for taking a chance on me and affording me the opportunities to learn and grow, day in and day out. grateful for every success, every failure, and each lesson that came along with it. thank you for the incredible support and patience as I’ve navigated my health. thank you for believing in me and my ability to contribute to the vision of this franchise, and for making the dreams of a south asian girl from cincinnati come true. I’ve poured my heart into this organization and you have given it back to me 100x over.
to my teammates on and off the court – thank you for accepting me as I am while challenging me to be a better version of myself each day. I have had the privilege of working with some of the most genuine and talented individuals, who are the absolute best at what they do. I am so grateful for the leadership, mentorship, and friendship that I have experienced. It has been an honor to walk alongside you these past few years and witness the greatness first hand that exists in each and every one of you.
I found a sense of purpose in this city, and for that I am forever indebted. but now it’s on to the next chapter.
all my love, always.
