Hello there, ’11s. Hope that you all made it through the winter okay and that things have warmed up for you!


There seems to be a growing contingent of ’11s building in London. Two classmates who moved over there fairly recently are Cyrus Akrami and Chris Fletcher. Cyrus, who has been working for Dropbox since 2013, headed there at the beginning of this year as part of a team that opened the company’s new U.K. offices. He says that the focus of the job is bringing Dropbox for Business to workplaces around the United Kingdom and Ireland, and adds that you should drop him a line if you’re ever in London. 


Chris, who had been living in New York, also moved to London in January for his job at BuzzFeed. He works on the branded content team and is helping to grow that business in the United Kingdom and throughout Europe. He writes that he’s getting to travel a lot and is starting to get into improv. 


Another classmate who has made some moves is Martha Gillon. She was working in finance at Mitchell International in San Diego but headed out to Washington, D.C., in January to work in the civil service at the U.S. State Department. Very cool. 


Elizabeth Howland, meanwhile, is leaving the Pacific Northwest for Tennessee. She’s been working as a neonatal research coordinator at the University of Washington and writes that she’s “bidding beautiful Seattle a bittersweet farewell” to head to Nashville. There, she’ll pursue her master’s of science in nursing at Vanderbilt University on her way to becoming a family nurse practitioner. She invites any alumni in the Music City to get in touch with her. 


That’s it for this round—be sure to get in touch with updates both big and small!
