Class Note 2004

Issue

Mar - Apr 2017

I hope everyone is having a wonderful start to 2017. Below are a few happenings from the class of 2004.

Noah Shamosh and Jenny Thomas ’03 welcomed their first child into the world on December 1. His name is Asher William Shamosh. He loves Dartmouth already and can’t wait for his first visit!

Donald Wilson is pleased to report that, even though it took him a little while longer than originally anticipated (5,745 days from convocation to be exact), he finally graduated from Dartmouth in June 2016! He’s glad to be joining the rest of the class of 2004!

Yan Somoza recently moved from Los Angeles to Palm Springs, California, where he works with Borrego Medical as a clinical psychologist. He currently supervises a program that seeks to integrate behavioral health with medical treatment in order to treat patients from a more holistic perspective, reduce costs and improve overall outcomes. He feels fortunate to have found a workplace that affords him the opportunity to work with underrepresented communities while adopting cutting-edge techniques early.

Allison Tombs had an eventful 2016. After completing her M.B.A. at Columbia Business School in 2015, she cofounded a fashion technology company in New York City called Sundar. She recently got engaged to her longtime boyfriend and they are getting married in 2017!

Cindy Torres is living in Billerica, Massachusetts, with her husband, Soumendra Nanda ’08 (PhD). The couple has two sets of twins: 6-year-old Lucia and Arielle and 2-year-old Priya and Diego. Cindy is currently taking a break from the work force to enjoy time with the twins! Soumendra traveled a lot this year and met up with Cristina Maacine and Angel Acevedo ’03 in Washington, D.C., as well as Ako Takakura in San Francisco.

Emily Graham Teeter welcomed Henry Graham Teeter to the world on September 7, 2016. He joins big sister Madeleine, who recently turned 2. Emily is currently working as a cardiac anesthesiologist at UNC Hospitals and would love to catch up with other alumni in the Triangle.

Taurie Wilk and her husband, Adam Steingart (George Mason ’99), welcomed their first baby, Jonah, in December 2015. It’s been a rewarding first year of parenthood!

Shannon Rogers is an assistant professor of ecological economics at Plymouth State University and recently took on the additional roles of community engagement leader of the Dartmouth toxic metals Superfund program and adjunct assistant professor of environmental studies at Dartmouth. She lives with her husband and two young sons in Concord, New Hampshire.

Finally, Elizabeth (Bultman) Sislen and her husband, Ben, welcomed their first child, baby girl Diana Marie, to their family on November 4. Diana Marie shares the privilege to be born at Washington, D.C.’s Sibley Memorial Hospital with her father and several of her aunts and cousins. She came home in time to vote with her mom in her first election and has been charming her parents ever since.

Please send any updates my way for future columns!
