to wish my classmates and Suffield the best. I hope all is well! SHELLY D’ALEO After graduating with a BS from Bentley University last May, I decided to continue my education and obtain my MBA with a concentration in finance. I lived in Boston’s beautiful North End with friends from college while taking classes and coaching Bentley’s diving team this past fall and spring. I have to thank Mr. Lowe and Ms. Picciotto for getting me into diving at Suffield, because being a collegiate athlete was one of the best parts of my experience, and now I love coaching, too. This summer, I was given the opportunity to live one of my dreams and waterski professionally at Sea World San Antonio. We perform four shows a day from May to the end of August, so come see me if you are in the area! Come September, I will be back to the real world and will graduate with my MBA in December. I hope everyone is having just as much fun this summer as I am. I can’t wait to see all of my ’09ers at our five-year Reunion!

MIKE JACOBS Things in Chicago are great. I moved out here after gradation and fell in love with the city. I’m working for a medical device company selling orthopedic implants. Luckily, I love the job but it sure does keep me busy. It’s funny because at Suffield I dreaded science and technology classes and didn’t do well. Now it’s my job! Callie Aldrich ’10 and I are still dating, and she just graduated from Union College in June. I guess we can thank Suffield for that, right? I do plan on coming to the Reunion in the fall. I will be making my travel plans soon, but I definitely feel it is important to me to make it back and reconnect with those who impacted my life in so many ways. I hope to see all of you there in October! KYLE VIGNEAULT I hope everyone is doing well and is excited for our five-year Reunion in October. I will be returning to Suffield in the fall as a faculty member for the 2014-2015 academic year. Suffield has played a vital role in my development to becoming the person I am today. I cannot wait to begin the next chapter of my life and call this wonderful place my home once again. See you all in the fall!

studies and gain more experience for the field of advertising. This summer I will be working as a junior art director for the advertising agency Laughlin Constable in Chicago. I hope all is well, and congratulations to those in the Class of 2010 who just graduated! TYLER ARNOLD I recently accepted a job with Republic Records, a leading division of Universal Music Group. I’ll join their A&R department full-time beginning in June, where my focus will be on signing and developing artists. I just recently got my first band, Us The Duo, signed to the label and it’s been really exciting to see their success so far. It’s crazy to think its been four years since the 2010 class graduated. I miss Suffield and can’t wait to see everyone next year at the Reunion!
JUSTINE DE CHAZAL I graduated May 10th and earned a bachelor of arts degree from the College of Charleston! I majored in studio art (focusing on photography) and minored in art history. I will be staying in Charleston for the summer and working at a gallery downtown called Redux Contemporary Art Center. I am going on a road trip in July and driving from Vancouver, British Columbia, down the West Coast with a friend from middle school—and after that I have absolutely no plans! In the meantime, I am applying for a job in galleries both in Charleston and Manhattan. I hope all is well at Suffield; sending everyone my best!
