Class Note 2013
Issue
Sept - Oct 2015
Ruthie Welch is serving in the Peace Corps in Costa Rica and writes in to say she is living super close to the airport, so if anyone happens by Costa Rica before June 2016 they should stop by for a visit.
Whitney FitzPatrick moving to Denver for a new job teaching special education at a charter school. John Guo moved back to Hong Kong in late April to start working at a private equity shop. He says everyone should come visit! Jessica Gagner moved from Boston to Toronto and started a new job in marketing at a biometrics software startup.
Several members of our class are also moving from Korea to Cambridge to start graduate school. After two years Marissa Lynn has left Korea and started at Harvard Medical School in August. While she will miss Korea greatly, she is looking forward to catching up with ’13s in Boston.
Joshua Lee finished his Korean military service in May and then traveled around Spain for a month. He headed back stateside in July to catch up with everyone, and this fall he started at Harvard Law School. Jennifer McGrew recently graduated from Boston College Lynch School of Education with her master’s in education and has a job teaching eighth-grade social studies at Davis Leadership Academy in Dorchester, Massachusetts. Eliana Ramage just finished a master’s in creative writing and works as an English teacher and content writer in Tel Aviv. She says she would love to host any visiting ’13s!
Joel Malkin recently reported to 2d Battalion, 7th Marines in Twentynine Palms, California, and was assigned as a rifle platoon commander in Fox Company. He says, “In layman’s terms that means I’m now in charge of training a group of 40 or so Marines in preparation for a deployment overseas sometime next year.”
Congratulations to Alfredo Velasco, who got his first coauthored publication into MEMSYS, a memory systems conference for computing. The article will be published in the proceedings of the conference, and he and his team will give a talk at the conference in Washington, D.C., in October.
Aurelia Solomon moved to Boston in the spring and is working for Enernoc, a business started by Tuck School of Business graduates.
Deidra Willis was recently promoted to a systems engineer position with General Mills after completing a two-year engineering rotational program. Deidra moved from South Jersey, where she was working with Progresso Soup, to Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where she works in the fruit department as the engineer for Fruit by the Foot.
Deidra isn’t the only ’13 working in the food industry—Juan Sanchez worked at the Pillsbury research and development group of General Mills in Minneapolis this summer and he’s now back at Purdue University to finish his master’s in food science. Sam Ticker also recently moved to Pittsburgh to work for Heinz. Maan Singh Tinna writes in, “I finally escaped the world of theater internships and landed a marketing associate position at New York Theatre Workshop! We are gearing up for a very exciting 2015-16 season and our company takes residence at Dartmouth every summer, so maybe I’ll get to put in a visit.”
Alyssa and Jacob Hickson joined staff with Cru, a ministry organization. They will be in Washington, D.C., as part of the Epic Movement, which focuses on reaching Asian American college students. After this summer they will spend approximately a year raising financial support for their ministry and will then begin going to campuses.
Jen Jaco recently accepted a job in the Chicago suburbs and Jeremy Whitaker ’15 and Jen moved out there together in early August.
Brendin Beaulieu-Jones, John Mascari, Nirali Patel and Rajiv Raghavan completed their first year at the Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth and are looking forward to a few weeks off before starting second year.
