working in Glens Falls, New York, and hopefully living in Saratoga Springs. So if there are any ’06s in the area, let me know and we should meet up! In Emma news, Hannah Darrin and I went on a mini vacation to Boulder, Colorado, which was so much fun. Katie Neilson came to the east coast and Jess King and I got to have a yummy lunch in Troy with her after a quick visit to the Emma campus. I later spent a weekend with the wonderful Marina MezzogiornoBrown and her mother. She made the best homemade gnocchi I have ever had; it was mind blowing. Happy Holidays!” As for me, your priceless and tireless class news reporter, it’s been a fast-paced few months. I made it through the Utah Bar Exam. A rough two months, now I don’t have to take another standardized exam ever again. I spent the month of August letting my brain recover by riding my bike and eating pastries. Since the swearing-in ceremony for new attorneys, I’ve hit the ground running and opened up my own office doing estate planning, wills, and trusts. I’m flapping my wings as hard as I can and am steadily getting off the ground. I’m sad to not be ski patrolling again this winter, but excited and ready for the next professional adventure. As always, if anyone is passing through Utah I’ve got a guest room, an open door, and a very hip brunch restaurant a few houses down.

5th Reunion • Karmela Padavic: “After graduating from the University of Chicago with an Honors BA in physics and a BS in mathematics, I have taken another step towards achieving the goal of becoming a theoretical physicist— something I was already very passionate about while attending Emma Willard— and started a PhD program at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Since leaving Emma Willard, in addition to learning a whole lot of physics and math, I have stayed consistent in non-academic matters as well and can report to having seen a number of amazing heavy metal concerts and worn black for the vast majority of the past five years.” Tergel Purevdorj: “After taking a break from college for two years and working at a startup in San Francisco, I have returned to the University of Rochester to finish my dual degree in computer science and studio art. If any Emma girls are in the region, I would love to meet up!” Sarah Gettman: “Things are going well here in DC. I’m finishing up my master’s in art education and will graduate in May. I’m interning at a queer tech company which is something I never expected to be doing and absolutely love it! This past summer was lovely. I volunteered at a camp for LGBTQIA Youth in Seattle and was able to meet up with Anoushka Millear, while I was out
there. I have no clue what May will bring and I’m down for all the adventuring.” Colleen Kilbourne: “I am spending a busy year in Albany…at my desk! Plugging away in my first year of medical school at Albany Medical College… definitely a challenge but the advice from fellow health professional Allie Epstein, and the mandatory study hours at EW have prepared me well! Reunited with Chandana Hemanthkumar this past May and am excited to reunite with everyone else at the five-year reunion!” Alexa Ortiz: “Having graduated from Cornell in May, I am currently living in sunny Florida and applying to law schools! Despite being so far from Mount Ida, I am so lucky to have been able to see some beautiful Emma ladies lately, including Sarah Schmer, Sandra Brooks, Kenzie Yezzi, Melissa Frederick, Linnhe Kapner ’12, and Ann Lim. I miss our Emma bubble every day, and hope to see more of you at Reunion this spring. My best to everyone in the meantime! Xox” Reunion April 24–26,2015.
