Class Note 2013
Issue
November-December 2021
Hi, ’13s!
We hope everyone is doing well—can you believe it is already fall of 2021?! The year has flown by. Lots of exciting updates from our classmates this edition, so let’s get to it.
Priscilla Nguyen recently moved back to Los Angeles to work in television as a writers production assistant on a new series. In exchange for making coffee and managing the office, she gets to sit in the writers room and see how the sausage is made. She has already connected with many alumni working in entertainment and is always looking to meet more! After enjoying his time clerking for a federal judge in San Diego, Joshua Lee recently moved to Greenville, South Carolina, for another judicial clerkship. He looks forward to connecting with friends and alumni in the area.
Kyle Lawson bought a house and moved from N.Y.C. to Vermont at the end of last year with his fiancée, Daryl Concha ’11; they were motivated by the pandemic preventing her from playing roller derby and a need for more space (we hear that!). They’ve also adopted a cat, named Flartner, that they walk on a leash and take on hikes. He and Daryl were also recently married at an inn in southern Vermont in a service officiated by Aylin Woodward ’15! After four years in Denver working on maternal mortality prevention and health equity in the pandemic response, Shivani Bhatia is moving back home to N.Y.C. She is joining a small consulting firm and they are hiring!
Jules Sarkar currently runs the only law practice in California with a dedicated practice area for representing attorney applicants against the State Bar of California. He recently argued and won an appeal in the California First District Court of Appeals against the State Bar of California in a case involving the California Bar Exam. He is very humbled to have received this year’s San Francisco Trial Lawyers Association’s Outstanding New Lawyer of the Year Award. Tanisha Panditharatne finished up her M.B.A. at the University of Texas and joined Whole Foods as its newest product manager. She lives in Austin, Texas, with her husband and is excited to catch up with any ’13s who live in the area!
Joanna Schneider and Brannon Cavalier ’12 welcomed their son, Jack Cooper Cavalier, on July 24. They have already read him his first book—Dr. Seuss, of course! They live in Durham, North Carolina, where Joanna is in residency at Duke and Brannon works as an engineer while working toward his executive M.B.A. at UNC. Megan Bunnell and husband Eric Schlobohm ’11 welcomed a baby boy, William, in July, and he has already visited Dartmouth! Sophie Palitz and her husband, Jacob, welcomed daughter Callie into the world. Sophie also graduated with her Ph.D. in clinical psychology this summer. Finally, Chelsea (Hassett) Brunda and her husband, John, Tu’14, welcomed son Collin Michael Brunda on January 28 in Atlanta. Welcome to the newest Big Green family members!
Thank you all and see you next time!
