There are lots of ’09s moving to new cities, more engagements and some other great class news.

After an amazing year in Boston working for the governor and hanging out with Boston ’09s, Molly Bode is moving back to San Francisco. She hopes to see more ’09s in the Bay Area soon! Alex Cook recently moved to San Francisco to join Gap Inc. in a product innovation and strategy role. He and Jarman Rogers are living in the Mission District. Scott Decker wrote, “We’ve moved to Denver, I’ve started my own software consulting company and we just celebrated our son’s first birthday.” Kaitlin Gallup moved to Fort Wayne, Indiana, and has a new job teaching English as a second language at Shawnee Middle School. She is getting married in July. Radha Kulkarni moved to San Francisco for a new job with Littler Mendelson and would love to connect with other Bay Area alums. Jenna Newgard moved to San Francisco and started working at the financial technology company Affirm.

Katie Farley got engaged to Harvey Jones, class of 2006 from MIT. Nathan Empsall got engaged as well. He wrote, “The week before Christmas, two days after finishing my first finals at Yale Divinity, I was decorating a Christmas tree with my best friend Diana Church. I ‘dropped’ the last ornament, and picking it up meant getting down on one knee. Usually marrying your best friend means becoming friends with your date, but I fell in love with the woman who was already my best friend, and I thank God everyday for how it’s worked out!”

Chris Brouwer is still in San Francisco after taking the summer off to travel. He has a new set of roommates after Greg Rolfes and Uday Seth went off to Wharton. Scott Henning moved in, so he has kept most of it in the Dartmouth family. Caitlin Pierce and Emily Koepsell spent Christmas climbing Mount Kinabalu, the highest peak in Southeast Asia. Emily finished a few months interning in Hong Kong and Caitlin was on break from Myanmar, where she works for a human rights nongovernmental organization. Gabrielle Santa-Donato is working at the Stanford Design School. She went from designing professional development in the K12Lab to delivering courses on how to use design thinking tools and strategies to figure out your life as a lecturer in the life design lab. So many labs!
