When I am not teaching movement or outdoors enjoying the stunning Monterey Peninsula, you will find me teaching

wellness classes and speaking around the U.S. on the therapeutic benefits of doTERRA Essential Oils. Last March, several of our classmates attended our first alumnae reunion—picking up where we left off. We missed those who could not join us, however we know you were there in spirit and most of all, in our hearts. What an incredible weekend we all enjoyed together; thank you for sharing this experience! Our class president, Shelby Caroll is living in South Bend, IN and accepted a position in August at the Office of University Relations at Notre Dame. She is the assistant director for the President’s Circle, the University’s highest recognition society. In her free time, she coaches a grade 7 volleyball team at a local Catholic school and a club team. She is looking forward to pursuing an advanced degree. Khatijah Correy is in her last year of grad school and will be graduating with a master’s in international affairs in May. Over the summer, she worked at the U.S. Embassy in Panama in the political section. Katherine Kihs moved to Chicago as a 2013 Corps Member for Teach for America. She is currently in the midst of her second year teaching high school English at Institution Health Sciences Career Academy, a school in the Little Village neighborhood of Chicago. Camille Massaro has been living in N.Y.C. for almost two years. This year, she finished up her thesis for her master’s degree in art business from Sotheby’s
Institute of Art. She will officially graduate this March. In N.Y.C., Camille connects with Vita Burn, Clare Riley and Anne Brown as often as possible. In December, Camille became engaged to her boyfriend of three years, Tim. Congrats Camille! She enjoyed a celebratory brunch with Catalina sisters Michele Jaeger, Mica Schlosser, Lottie Dowson and Maddie Vitanza. Maddie is currently finishing up her last semester of nursing school at Salve Regina University in Newport, RI. She will graduate in May with a bachelor’s in nursing. After graduation, Maddie will sit for her nursing boards and hopes to pursue a career in pediatric intensive care. Last summer, she worked as a nurse at a summer camp for children with diabetes. She also assisted in a research trial for the development of the “bionic pancreas” out of Massachusetts General Hospital. Nikita Ranchhod graduated from Kingston University this year and had the opportunity to work in Zimbabwe for three months in international development with VSO. As you can see, our class is on the move and facilitating change. Please share in our gratitude; Catalina has helped shaped our journey thus far.
