Enjoy some news from our classmates and happy fall!
Nell (Pascall) Mackenzie, Kathryn Twyman, Samantha Monkman ’10, and Johanna Hauer (and significant others, including Nell’s three kids) all met up in Zambia this summer. They visited Victoria Falls and toured Lower Zambezi National Park. Plus, they all got on the water for a slightly different kind of paddle—canoeing among the hippos and crocodiles! Sophie Hood and her husband, Matt Mukerjee ’10, moved to Vermont last summer. She opened a sewing teaching studio, Little Bird Sewing Studio. They are happily settling into Vermont life, enjoying Lake Champlain, hanging out with their two dogs, gardening, and working on house renovations! If anyone is in the Burlington area, drop a line. Tara McNerney had her second child, baby girl Rylie, in March. Son Jack is 2 and getting used to being a brother. Lilian Mehrel’s feature film is in development and won the AT&T Tribeca Untold Stories award. They’ll give $1 million to make the film this year, and it will premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival. Danielle Murray shared that she moved from Vancouver, British Columbia, to Lyme, New Hampshire, with her husband and their two young daughters for one year. They are there for her neurology fellowship at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center and would love to connect with any alums visiting or living there! Diana Punko updated that she got married (to a non-Dartmouth person) in December 2023, moved to the Upper West Side, and is now working as a consultation-liaison psychiatrist at Weill Cornell Medical Center/New York-Presbyterian Hospital.
