Miller Hughes is still living in New York City in the West Village and works as a merchandise planner at Coach for women’s accessories. Emily Palmer is still living in New York City, in Hell’s Kitchen, plowing through tourists on the weekends and seeing more shows than she should. She’s currently working at an indie music record label, Two Tomatoes Records, and is loving it! The label produces Laurie Berkner’s music, so while she’s no longer nannying, she’s still working with kids in some capacity. She’s also recording a lot more than she used to and is planning on doing some open mic shows in the near future. Aside from that, she’s been taking acting improv, musical improv and sketch comedy classes at the Peoples Improv Theater and Magnet Theater. Allegra Romita is living in Park Slope in New York City. This past September she started her master’s in dance education at New York University.

She left her bookkeeping job at the American Center for the Alexander Technique to live her dream of making a living by teaching yoga and dancing. She is teaching yoga at Prana Power Yoga and at NYSC and is dancing with Sydnie Mosley’s, 2003 dance company - Sydnie L. Mosley Dances. Molly Sober moved out of Manhattan and over to Brooklyn Heights and is loving it. After two years, she left her job at the art advisory firm to go to Macys. com. She is almost finished with their executive development program and has been training with the handbag planning team. She says it has been very interesting learning the ins and outs of e-commerce and retail. Megan Trenery works for the Children’s Hospital Foundation at Children’s National Medical Center. She has started volunteering for RPCS (so be nice to her if she calls you or sends you a note about supporting the annual fund!). She is looking forward to traveling back to Belgium this fall for her study abroad five-year reunion. Megan is still living with me, Caroline Martinet, in Woodley Park in Washington, DC. Last year we ran the Baltimore Half Marathon for the One Love Foundation and we are so thrilled that we have been able to raise over $2,200 for the Foundation over the past two years. We are continuing the tradition and plan on running the Baltimore Marathon in October for One Love. I am still working at the Center for Strategic & International Studies as a program coordinator for the Transatlantic Media Network and the Williamsburg-CSIS Forum. The most exciting part of my job last year was assisting to put on a week-long conference on Egypt where we flew over high-profile Egyptian politicians, economists, academics and businessmen to discuss the future of Egypt just three months before the overthrow of President Mohammed Morsi and his government.
