Hi, ’10s, another quick column from me this issue. Thank you to everyone who submitted; we love to hear from you!

Libbey Brown welcomed her second son, Ronan Lane, on February 26.

Nick Lomanto moved to Salt Lake City and is working for a tech startup called TaxBit. If any local alumni are looking to mountain bike, climb, or ski, reach out to Nick!

Emma Nairn got married to Nash Reilly (again) last September in Westwood, Massachusetts. It was worth the wait for an in-person celebration with family and friends! The wedding was officiated by Jeff Spielberg and the maid of honor was Jackie Shameklis. The Dartmouth attendance was strong and included Shreoshi Majumdar, Boer Deng, Rob Mercurio ’12, Charlie Nairn ’13, John Nairn ’77, and Max Kinne ’13. Emma and Nash also recently got a golden doodle puppy named Lenny and moved to Malden, Massachusetts.

May is Dartmouth’s “Season of Service,” so I asked our classmates working in nonprofit organizations to share more about their work.

Andy Ferrera writes: “I joined a startup social impact consulting firm, Kinetic West, about four years ago. During the four years we’ve grown from a two-person shop to a 12-person team. We provide management and strategy consulting services in the social and collective impact space—in particular education, workforce and apprenticeship, homelessness and housing, climate, and public safety. I’m always looking to connect with fellow advocates, social-sector folks in these areas and others.”

Mackenzie (Howell) Saitowitz works in resource development for a Bedouin educational and leadership nonprofit called Desert Stars in southern Israel. Desert Stars is working to create a new generation of Bedouin leadership to improve things for the community and the Negev region as a whole. She would love to speak to fellow alums about her work; reach her at menucha@desertstars.org.il.

Finally, fans of the TV show Bridgerton may have seen Lou-Lou Igbokwe’s name flash across the screen as the writer of one of the season two episodes! How cool is that?! Congrats, Lou-Lou—I’m looking forward to bingeing Bridgerton and seeing you share more of your work out in the world!
