Class of 2013

Hi, ’13s.

Lots to catch up on here! Ashley Blum married Chris Esposito on July 29, 2023, in Estes Park, Colorado. They live in Los Angeles. Alice Lloyd married Will Rahn on December 2, 2023, in New York. Madi Gamble and husband Jonas Cole welcomed son Asa Cole Gamble on November 15, 2023. Madi writes: “He’s a super-smiley little guy and would love to meet you, so reach out if you find yourself in the Upper Valley! And if you find yourself looking for a fun way to get outside, consider booking an electric bike rental or brewery tour from our 4-year-old small business, Vermont Bike and Brew, located on Thetford Hill [Vermont]!” Sarah Rutter Vermeer writes: “Gordon Vermeer ’12 and I welcomed our son, Peter, in early June. Big sister Libby adores him!” Nora (Hodgson) and Roland Mansilla welcomed a baby boy, Xavier Alejandro, in February. They live in San Francisco and can’t wait to introduce Xavi to other Bay Area Dartmouth alumni and their kiddos. (“I know there are some around his age!” writes Nora.) Katie De La Rosa also welcomed a baby in February, and she reports the newborn is taking up most of her time with husband Matt Garton ’12. They live in New York City, where Katie is a family medicine doctor.

Speaking of doctors, Vaidehi Mujumdar completed her ob-gyn residency in N.Y.C. last August and is now through her first year of a gynecology-oncology fellowship at Atrium Health Levine Cancer Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Nerina DiSomma is finishing her interventional radiology residency at Indiana University and has accepted a job to stay on as faculty at IU. She lives in Indianapolis with her husband and 2-year-old son. Alexis (Monroe) Lightner earned her doctorate in December of 2022 and now is, predictably, a humanities professor at Villanova University. She, her husband, and their almost-2-year-old daughter have been living since 2023 in Philadelphia, where they bought a house last Christmas and love spending time with other Dartmouth alums in the area.

Shannon Draucker’s first academic book, Sounding Bodies: Acoustical Science and Musical Erotics in Victorian Literature, was published by SUNY Press in July. Laura McFeely works as an appellate public defender and lives in N.Y.C. with her husband, Lee-Or Ankori-Karlinsky ’11, and their daughter, Alma, who crossed the stage with Laura during her law school graduation last year! After three years at Boston Consulting Group, Emily Fletcher started a new job as associate vice president at Challenge Seattle, an alliance of 23 organizations that represents many of the Seattle region’s largest employers and tackles some of the region’s pressing civic challenges, such as housing and transportation. Noam Rosenthal is in San Jose, California, where she works on medical devices for stroke with Stryker and excels at climbing and spike ball. Melissa Gordon lives in Oakland, California, and works for CA FarmLink, an organization that helps farmers find and afford farmland. She says, “I have visited Yosemite National Park three times (with Dartmouth ’13 and ’15 friends) since moving here and two to three times have coincidentally run into a Dartmouth alum or current student.”

Two classmates wrote in from Colorado: Hazel Shapiro lives in Denver and recently finished her M.B.A. (yes, you read that right) at CU Boulder. She works in Arctic research policy and loves being an aunt to her five niblings. Amanda Wheelock is in Summit County and now works for the U.S. Forest Service after finishing her master’s in environmental policy at the University of Michigan.

Congratulations, everyone. Keep the news coming!
