2013

It’s always such a joy to hear what you all are up to, so thank you for making this column possible issue after issue. Please keep sharing your updates so your classmates and fellow alumni know what you’re up to and where to find you. Without further ado, your updates for this issue.

Andrew Park is excited to (finally) start his first year of medical school at University of California, San Diego, this fall. As an aspiring physician-writer, he regrets not having taken any creative writing classes at Dartmouth. Brittany Yoon is currently working for Uber and will be going to Harvard Business School in Boston for an M.B.A. in the fall. Congratulations, Brittany! Helena Witte reports that she has no major life updates, except that she has the best dog ever. He’s a six-year-old German shepherd and actually came from the Upper Valley Humane Society, so he too has the still north in his heart. She also shared the news that John Kline in November started a new job at Evolent Health, where he focuses on improving healthcare delivery systems. Vaidehi Mujumdar is currently a first year at Wake Forest University School of Medicine and has been continuing to write and publish in all the “spare” time she can find! Diana Lim ’11 is also a fellow first-year classmate, and Vaidehi also reports that Analiza Rodriguez is a first year at the University of Houston Law School.

Chidi Anyadike and Marion Ruan wrote in with the following dispatch: “Gabby Mezochow just got one step closer to dethroning Meredith Grey as ‘Dartmouth’s most famous alum in the medical profession’—she heads back to New York City in the fall to attend Cornell Weil Medical School!” Svati Narula is still working for Quartz in New York City and she is one of the main writers/editors behind the new Quartz iPhone app, which is quite an experiment in mobile news delivery. She writes in, “I’m about to move into a new apartment in Brooklyn with Davey Barnwell, who’s moving to N.Y.C. for the first time from Portland, Oregon. Now if only we could get Nerina DiSomma to come out here so we could recreate our living situation from senior year! Alas, Nerina is happily settled and busy with medical school in Illinois.” Angie Yang is currently working for Uber in Chicago and she and Olivia Martin recently completed the New Orleans Rock ’n’ Roll Half Marathon. Congrats, ladies!

Brad Reynolds recently moved to Austin, Texas, and would love to meet other Dartmouth grads in the area. Feel free to contact him at brad.l.reynolds.13@gmail.com. Shawn Hawk moved to the Bay Area and works as a data analyst at McKesson Specialty Health. This spring Mike Fancher also moved to San Francisco. Karla Verkouw will be attending the Commonwealth Medical College this fall in Scranton, Pennsylvania. She will be moving there in August and is hoping maybe someone else from Dartmouth might be attending the same program. Patrick Healy moved from Washington, D.C., to Boston and is now working at HBX, the online education startup at Harvard Business School, and studying part-time.

As always, thank you for your updates! That’s all for now—happy almost summer! And congratulations to the class of 2016, the last class we overlapped with in Hanover, on their graduation!
