’04 Grant Carpenter writes, “In June 2013, after a year working for a software company in LA, I became General Counsel for Cyber2Media and xyz.com via Beverly Hills. Cyber2Media is an Internet advertising and development company. Xyz.com is an Internet Registry Operator and Registrar bringing new domain extensions, such as .xyz and .College, to the internet. I’m always happy to meet up with and network with Choaties out on the west coast.” Rebecca Jones is excited for her recent promotion to the Sex Crimes Bureau at the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office.

My apartment is one block away from my GW Law classmate Shanellah Verna, and I see David Bloys on a regular basis (generally, to eat pancakes). I found Caitlin Pizzonia in a GW elevator, took a 15-person class with Gwen Coleman ’04, and ran into Emily Zandy ’03 on the street. On Labor Day weekend, Dan Sobol and I rounded out the bridal party for Betsy LippittJulia, and Tracy Ginder-Delventhal did a fantastic job officiating. And last, but certainly not least, Jane
Mosbacher ’04 has inspired me to join her in starting a DC Chapter for USACares, a great organization that supports military families. I hope all Choaties in the DC/MD/VA area can come out to some of our events later this year!” Charlotte Fraser earned a master’s degree in nutrition from Framingham State University and is also a registered dietician.

I am teaching academic writing to our inaugural class of 300 freshmen (half Chinese, half international students). NYUSH, a China-US joint venture, has an exciting startup atmosphere. I am also working on my own writing, practicing my Chinese, looking for business opportunities, and playing squash with Yuh Won Lee ’04.
