Happy spring, ’99s!
Many of us are seeing the last days of winter, and I hope you’re making the most of it as spring starts to take hold.
I’m pleased to start this new season of life with a new addition to the Dartmouth family. Toby Hays and his husband, Elisban Rodriguez (Citadel ’01) welcomed a baby girl, Maggie, on October 16. Toby and his family live in Los Altos, California, where Toby is a general pediatrician in the Stanford network of practices and Elisban works at NASA’s Ames Research Center. Toby writes: “We had an amazing experience going through in vitro fertilization and surrogacy, and would be happy to talk to anyone who might be looking into surrogacy. We also welcome visitors if you’re ever in our area!” Congratulations, Toby and Elisban!
In other news, Victoria Otto took on a new role last December as an associate at Gust Rosenfield, a law firm in Arizona. Victoria, based in Tucson, will focus on healthcare and general civil litigation. Prior to joining the firm, Victoria practiced law for more than 11 years as a prosecutor for the Pima County, Arizona, attorney’s office, where she prosecuted defendants in more than 60 felony and misdemeanor jury trials, evidentiary hearings, bench trials and other court proceedings. Victoria became a supervisor in 2010 and oversaw the misdemeanor unit, special victims unit and the violent crimes unit.
Damali Rhett, Tu ’06,has also taken on a new role in December as executive director at the Philadelphia Energy Co-op. Damali will lead the co-op in promoting sustainability and increasing membership for usage of its electricity, heating oil and renewable gas products. She aims to provide a community-focused strategic direction for the nearly 40-year-old co-op that will include expanding education programs and encouraging member participation. Damali built a track record in the energy sector through roles at Enviva LP, the world’s largest producer of industrial biomass, and as a consultant at IBM and Deloitte.
Well done, Victoria and Damali, and good luck in your new roles!
That’s all the news for now, but I look forward to sharing more updates with you soon!
