Class Note 2005
Issue
September-October 2021
Hi, everyone! We’re back! Thanks to those of you who answered the call and wrote in to share news with the class.
First, Nicole Valco Thomas wrote in to let us know she had her second child, Clark Lee Thomas, in July 2020 and that he’s the happiest kid she has ever met.
Next, Kirstin Ellison wrote in to tell us all a few new things about herself and fellow classmates. Kirstin recently made a career change and joined the U.S. Foreign Service after several years working as a civil servant and contractor for various government agencies. She’ll leave Washington, D.C., and head to Maputo, Mozambique, in December for her first assignment. To celebrate her entry into the diplomatic corps, she took a National Parks-focused trip in Texas with Chanda Myrick, who recently marked two years at the San Antonio Economic Development Foundation.
Kirstin also let us know that Kristen (Reeves) Jones moved to Cheyenne, Wyoming, where she works as an assistant attorney general for the state in the criminal division. In addition to her full-time job, Kristen volunteers with the Military Spouse JD Network (MSJDN), a bar association that advocates for licensing accommodations for military spouses. Kristen will take over as president of the MSJDN board of directors later this year after previously serving as treasurer.
Lastly, Kirstin let us know that Sue AnderBois filed paperwork to run for a seat on the city council of Providence, Rhode Island. Since moving to Providence several years ago, Sue has fully embraced the local community by serving on various boards and working groups, volunteering with local nonprofits, and working in state government. Meanwhile, Brown University awarded tenure last year to Scott AnderBois, who teaches linguistics there while performing research on indigenous languages of Mexico and Ecuador.
Katherine (Heyman) Saunders and her husband, Sloan, were recently featured in Authority Magazine as the power couple behind Intellihealth, a software solution that effectively scales specialized obesity treatment beyond the clinic to meet the magnitude of the epidemic.
