2012

Spring may not have officially sprung in Boston, but y’all have warmed my heart with all of these updates. Keep ’em coming, okay? Send them my way at k.crisp12@gmail.com. So, without further ado, the news.

Love is in the air: Nina Skagerlind and Max Gelb ’11 are engaged! Anna-Kay Thomas won VH1’s dream-jobbing challenge, meaning we got to see her as a social buzz reporter on Big Morning Buzz Liveg alongside Nick Lachey. Not too shabby, A.K.PMPae1

Jason Goodman moved to Berkeley, California, to pursue a master’s of information and data sci- ence at UC Berkeley. Be sure to touch base with Jason and roomie Nick Knezek if you’re in the Bay Area. Natalie Obermeyer married Matt Hunter in Aspen, Colorado, in August. They are now liv- ing in Boston, where Matt works as an attorney at Goodwin Proctor and Natalie is finishing her master’s in public health and nutrition at Tufts University. Nate Severance is on a research trip in Burkina Faso. Follow his whereabouts at http://feministlinguistatheistveteran.blogspot.com

Will Bishop is living in Juneau, Alaska, and working at Alaska’s department of revenue as a tax-forecasting economist. Will is glad “to be back in my home state and in a new city at the same time.” Leah Nicolich-Henkin and Andrew Bloomgar- den are now living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where Leah is studying language technology at Carnegie Mellon University. Giulia Siccardo just moved from San Francisco to Boston and started at Harvard Business School. She’s glad to be back on the East Coast and hopes to visit Dartmouth more often.

Beijing 09X veterans Karen Schuster and Mi- chael Hauge are “keeping it fresh in Shanghai, where they’re loving the fast-changing, cosmo- politan and dumpling-filled city. Karen is enjoy- ing her role at Mailman Group, a social media agency specializing in bringing international sports brands into China’s digital market, and in between coaching debate and squash. Michael is currently launching a startup focused on edu- cation technology. If any Big Green friends (or foes) are coming through China, don’t hesitate to be in touch!”

Daneille Devlin started her second semester at Berkeley Law. David Silver is working to open a unique urban equestrian center in Detroit, com- bining his experiences growing up horseback riding and his two years of teaching in Detroit schools. David hopes to transform a large piece of vacant land and expand opportunities for kids in the city. He’s always up to play tour guide and show people why he loves Detroit (just ask Sidny Ginsberg), so be sure to look him (and Samson Sig- ma Alpha Epsilon) up next time you’re in Detroit.

Our very own Drew Wong just started a Ph.D. in applied physics at Harvard School of Engineer- ing and Applied Science studying batteries. He’s also been hanging out with other ’12s, including Natalie Obermeyer, Ken Greim and Rob Mercurio in the city. Bianca Zlatea and Rachel Moncton ran the New York Marathon at the beginning of Novem- ber. I speak for all of us when I say, you go, girls!

Sydney Bonham (formerly Sydney Schmus) moved this summer to Las Vegas, Nevada, where she and her husband were overjoyed to welcome their first child, daughter Kayvin Bonham, into the world on October 23, 2014. Dartmouth class of 2036? Bleed green, right?

In January Hillary Barker moved to London, where she’ll be for the year working for FactSet. She’s looking forward to being back in the United Kingdom and spending time with Ally East and Chase Eldredge ’11, who are also in London.

Last but certainly not least, Jess Duncan re- cently moved to San Diego to work at Hines, a real estate developer and investor. Send her some love, guys.

Until next time, ’12s.
