Olivia Nilsson olivianilsson@gmail.com Bre Tarufelli Gentile: “I am finishing my last year of pre-doctoral internship in clinical psychology and I am looking to move back to Monterey with my family.” Katherine Carnazzo: “I am still living in Santa Barbara, and just recently successfully defended my dissertation to receive my Ph.D. in clinical, counseling, and school psychology! I will be staying in Santa Barbara and dividing my time for internship between two school districts in the vicinity. I am lucky to have time to make trips up to Monterey to visit with my family and also get to see Cassie Long Mills and Lara Wheeler Devlin and their beautiful children! My door is always open to anyone passing through Santa Barbara—it’s a great place to visit during the summer!” Veronica Cossio: “On November 21, 2015, we welcomed Alejandro and Alexia to our family. They are two happy siblings to big brother Jose Carlos (5).” Francesca Fay Darling: “I married Charles Darling V on September 12, 2015 in San Francisco. Jackie Russell was my bridesmaid and Louise Sanseau and Ellie Eversole Richardson with her husband, Evan, were there! I was working for a tech company, Mulesoft, on the recruiting team when all of a sudden my husband’s job was moved to Beijing, China! I am moving to Beijing and would love all visitors! Lookout for my blog,
expatdarling.com. This will be a place for me to share my stories and adventures while living abroad!” Sarah Kennifer Garrigues: “Will and I welcomed our daughter, Claire Grace, on July 2. We are blessed to have her as part of our family!” Courtney Moore: “Wow—15 years! I’m still working as an acupuncturist and herbalist in San Francisco. In 2013, I visited Deborah Hsu in Taiwan to study there after I graduated. This year, I launched a new business, Mama Menu, providing education and care packages for postpartum recovery. I really want to start some necessary conversations about the importance of postpartum care for new moms. Traveling to Thailand for a yoga retreat this summer and looking forward to a lot of other travel adventures over the next year!” Amy Azevedo Mulgrew: “Currently, William (4), Cora (3), my husband Kirk, and I are living in Long Beach, CA. Just weeks ago, however, I interviewed and accepted a position teaching math with Claire Grace Garrigues, daughter of Sarah Kennifer Garrigues ’02
Francesca Fay ‘02 and husband Charles Darling
the esteemed faculty at Santa Catalina! The process of interviewing and accepting was a complete joy as so many people opened their arms in warm reception of my entire family. I look forward to joining our classmate, Lara Wheeler Devlin, on staff. I cannot wait for our 15 year reunion. I must extend a big ‘thank you’ to Sister Claire and Ned Stork, among other administrators, for making this a possibility. Also, I would not have even applied without the support and gentle nudging from my classmates Sheryl Stillman, Courtney Moore, Olivia Nilsson, Jessica Shia and Sarah Kennifer Garrigues. Thanks for believing in me, guys!” Greer Murphy: “I graduated from UCLA with an EdD in June and started working at Claremont Graduate University in July. As assistant director of the Writing Center, I am in the midst of designing curriculum for and teaching in their new International Fellows Program, which provides master’s and Ph.D. candidates from overseas with advanced English language training and helps them acculturate to the demands of Western academic life. While I have not made nearly as much time for Catalina ladies this past year as I would like, I was thrilled to participate in Journey Day 2016 and look forward to catching up with everyone at reunion in March. I miss you all!” Laura Nicola: “I’m enjoying
