Happy holidays! In September, Robert Cousins became the 23rd U.S. Correspondence Chess Champion. His next goal is to enter the World Championship cycle. Molson Hart has two kids, Zealand and York, with his wife in Austin, Texas. Carmen Kilpatrick is an assistant professor in the department of psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco. Ravi (Segal) LaBua completed her clinical psychology Ph.D. a few years ago and currently runs a private therapy practice with a focus area in psychedelic medicine. She recently moved to Hudson, New York, and is expecting her first child in late November. She would love to connect with other alums in the Hudson Valley area and wishes everyone well! Vanessa Magro graduated from the University of Denver with a Psy.D. in clinical psychology and is providing psychological services in the Denver, Colorado, metro area at Front Range Psychological Services. She bought a house with her partner and is loving her new neighborhood. Jenna Newgard along with her husband, Nate Abbott, welcomed Rilo Oberlin Abbott in April. He joins big sister Roxy. Franklin Ordonez would like to share that he has started a home improvement and housecleaning business in Westchester County, New York. Gabrielle Santa-Donato is experimenting with starting her own design firm—and starting off with an of-the-moment, action-oriented, and delightful life design coaching group. It all lives on the new GSDDesign.co. There’s a range of offerings to explore to strengthen your life and career and the culture and impact of your teams, all with a creative flair. Brian Scullin and his wife, Shannon, who live in the Phoenix, Arizona, area, welcomed their third child, a beautiful girl named Bayley, in July 2023. Sister Delaney and brother Finnian couldn’t be more excited to have someone new to boss around. Boris Vabson married Lucy Ren in October in a smallish ceremony combining Chinese and Jewish elements in Honolulu, Hawaii. Boris and Lucy are based in New York but also take full advantage of the semi-remote nature of their jobs and often travel to see beautiful places as well as close family and friends. Their lives are likely to become substantially less nomadic once kids enter the picture! After getting a Ph.D. in health economics, Boris has pursued a hybrid of academic research, policy work, health tech, and entrepreneurship (all at once and not necessarily all well). Boris is excited to reconnect with old Dartmouth friends, especially after all the pandemic disruption and isolation!
