Class Note 2014
Hello, ’14s! I hope everyone is enjoying the spring! I recently took a trip out to California with Tashneen Bakht and Brian Flint to visit Brendan Nagle for his birthday. Loved seeing him and other ’14s such as Jennafer (Jenna) Vickers, Ryan Tibble and Kali Pruss! Mark Andriola also ventured out west recently. In addition to currently finishing up as a business analyst at McKinsey, where he has spent the last five months on a project aimed at reducing violence in one of the largest jails in the United States, he visited Phi Delta West Coast ’14s Daniel (Dan) Bernhard, Samuel (Sam) Bauer and Nelson Santry. “While I still live with four fellow ’14s in N.Y.C.,” says Mark, “I will be leaving my job and apartment to attend law school this fall.”
Lauren Jenny reports, “I live in Boston’s North End with classmate Kara Lehman. I recently completed a rotational program with Putnam Investments and started as a relationship manager for the firm. I am heading to Florida with some classmates from my sorority Kappa Delta Epsilon in three weeks for a nice vacation!” Xavier Curry lives in New York City. He’s releasing colorful, vibrant R&B music under the moniker Xav A. His most recent projects feature contributions with amazing Dartmouth talents, including Christopher Gallerani ’15 and Nathaniel Graves ’13!
Dylan Gabel writes in, “I am currently a medical scribe at Tufts Medical Center for ScribeAmerica. In this role I work alongside ER physicians to provide real-time documentation and facilitate greater efficiency and care for patients. Also, I accepted a full-time offer from Fanning Personnel, a financial services staffing agency in downtown Boston.” Graylin Harrison says, “After spending a year in Italy, I returned to the United States and have been working in Chicago. I have applied to Ph.D. programs in art history and have received some offers of admission. I am still contemplating my options, but it’s looking like this adventure will take me someplace new (with balmy winters).”
Anna Bladey and Patrick Yukman have moved to Chicago. Anna is starting mathematics classes at the University of Chicago as a graduate student-at-large and Patrick is starting a new job as a software developer in the center for personalized therapeutics at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine.
And now for some exciting engagement news from Kevin Griffith and Nayrana Carneiro: According to Kevin, “A few minutes after sunset on Friday, February 12, I asked Nayrana for her hand in marriage while on vacation in Colorado. Nay and I first met during freshman fall and quickly became close friends, though we didn’t begin dating until much later. After college Nay stayed in Hanover to attend Geisel while I moved down to Dallas, returning to visit her every two or three weeks. In January I moved back up to Boston to be closer to her and decided the time was right to propose! Thankfully, she said yes. We’d like to thank all our classmates and friends who have reached out to congratulate us on the engagement.”
Marianna Cid is searching for jobs in Los Angeles, but writes in with a winter highlight. She spent Valentine’s Day with 20,000 runners, joggers and power-walkers for the Los Angeles Marathon. Clarisse Benoit emailed in, “After almost two years teaching kindergarten in the Upper Valley I am planning to move to Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, this summer to be closer to my family. I am excited for the move, but it will be hard saying goodbye to the Dartmouth area, since I didn’t really go far after graduation!”
Thanks for the updates! Keep emailing in!
