Class Notes
KATIE WILLIAMS ‘06 and Josh Coiner were married in Baltimore in May 2013.
law school applications. It seems to have paid off because she was accepted to Columbia Law School and will start in 2014. In other Katie-related news, the zookeeper formerly known as Katie Williams is now Katie Coiner! In May, she married Josh Coiner, whom she met at UVA. Congratulations, Katie. It turns out we have lots of prospective lawyers in the ranks of ‘06. Jeb Cook spent the summer working at Venable LLP in Baltimore and exploring different practice areas as well as “doing a lot of cool lawyer things,” such as seeing the Supreme Court on the day the DOMA decision was issued. He will be here next year for his last year at the University of Maryland School of Law and plans to practice in Baltimore after school. Ouranitsa Abbas writes that she is still working with Immigration Legal Services at Esperanza Center (Catholic Charities of Baltimore), helping people on their way to freedom and U.S. citizenship. I didn’t get many other update submissions, but, hey, I saw a lot of you this summer! I ran into Camille Stokes and Robert Janey at Chipotle. They are fantastic and really enjoy their burritos. I saw Phil Bartolini at the Waverly Farmer’s Market. He is doing well and enjoys produce. I met up with Brian Penza and Os Cole at Dan Kotowski’s house. Brian is engineering and driving really fast cars, Os is an
EMT, and Dan has a super secret job doing intelligence analysis.
2007. Lauren Marks lmarks617@gmail.com Congratulations to Katie Vaselkiv who got married in July. Class of 2007 wishes her the best and happiest marriage with her new husband! In other news, Eileen Butler and Molly Moses have moved to Boston. Eileen came up from sunny Orlando and Molly from NYC. Eileen moved to work as a market analyst at a marketing agency, and Molly will start her master’s in theological studies at Harvard Divinity School. Also in New England, Austin Gifford writes, “I am illustrating an education app and volunteering at the studio in the Eric Carle Museum for Children’s Book Art in Amherst, Mass.” Moving down the map, we encounter Allie Mac Jordan in New York City who writes, “I am working for an ad tech start-up focused on collecting intent expressed by consumers through a variety of social media platforms and harnessing that intent for marketers to deliver ads against. I moved to NYC about a year ago and honestly can’t picture ever leaving.” Ali Gilbert just left NYC for South Africa, where she is living in Cape Town for a year. She is on the
marketing team for Grassroots Soccer, a nonprofit that uses the power of soccer to educate and mobilize youth in the fight against HIV/AIDS. You can learn more about her work in South Africa on her blog (hakunamasoccer.wordpress.com). Also abroad, Anna Swicklik writes “I spent the summer in Dublin, Ireland working for the Consero Group. I ran into Justin Einstein on the streets of Florence while on holiday with my family. What a small world!” In the Mid-Atlantic region we have Laura Beth Resnick, who is expanding her Butterbee Flower Farm to a half-acre plot in Pikesville so that she can spread more beauty. I know from firsthand experience, her flowers from Whitelock Farm in Reservoir Hill are outstanding! (See article on page 26.) Sadly for me, my buddy Roz Kreizenbeck moved out of our house in Federal Hill and into Holly Heller’s apartment in D.C. where Roz is studying museum education at George Washington University. I am happy to say that in September I started at the University of Maryland School of Social Work in downtown Baltimore, which has been great. For my fieldwork placement, I landed the opportunity to work with inmates at the Baltimore County Detention Center in Towson. There is always something interesting to report!
