Class Note 2009
I hope everyone is having a wonderful winter! Lots to report from our classmates and congratulations to all the new ’09 parents. On January 1 Brendan Anderson began a postdoctoral research position in paleobiology in the West Virginia University department of geology and geography. His family is staying on Long Island, New York, so he will be in both locations frequently. Caitlin Angelette and her husband, Luke, welcomed their second son, Nolan Thomas Angelette, on December 5. Everyone is healthy and big brother Griffin is settling into his role slowly. Anna (Bekker) Carlson, DMS’13, and Evan Carlson ’08, Th’10, welcomed their baby girl, Emily, to the world on November 18. Scott Decker welcomed histhird kiddo in January, and they were keeping it a surprise if it’s a boy or girl! Sarah Leners will be moving to Chicago and joining the consumer coverage group at Lazard. She is looking forward to hanging out with classmates in the Windy City. Johannes Lohmann has been living in Brooklyn since 2017 and working for the Behavioral Insights Team. He designs, implements, and tests social programs and policies that are based on findings from behavioral science. They try to figure out why people exhibit certain behaviors and try to achieve social outcomes such as increasing employment, decreasing violence, and increasing school attendance. He’s happy to connect with anyone who wants to chat about that kind of stuff. Natalie (Todd-Zebell) Pexton is looking forward to graduating from medical school and going into a pediatrics residency this June. Until then, she’s enjoying cross-country skiing and rock climbing with her husband, Chris, and 2-year-old daughter Aurelia in Portland, Oregon. Shannon Prince completed her J.D.-Ph.D. joint degree studies, earning a doctorate in African and African American studies from Harvard after receiving her law degree from Yale in 2017. She has begun working as an associate at Boies Schiller Flexner. Lauren (Caracciola) Reynolds and Allan Reynolds ’07 are the proud new parents of James Thomas Reynolds, born November 6. All are happy, healthy, and maybe a little tired! Christmas came early for Brian Scullin and his wife, Shannon, when they welcomed daughter Delaney May Scullin in November. If any ’09s find themselves in Phoenix or Scottsdale, Arizona, give them a shout!
