I was named the 2012 MVP in Division 1 water polo and have been selected as the 2013 water polo captain at Fordham University. MICHELLE AUTUORI
Hi, everyone! I spent my spring semester working in NYC at Bank of America Merrill Lynch in their Global Banking and Markets department. It was such an incredible experience! After completing my co-op, I went straight to South Africa for the summer to take classes. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, and it was an action-packed trip. We went on a safari and had the opportunity to go shark cage diving with great whites. I am finally back in Boston at Northeastern taking classes and am looking forward to starting my third and final co-op at Ernst and Young in January. I have been thinking of Suffield during all the beautiful fall days we have had, and I am looking forward to visiting soon. MACK COOK

I am currently in my senior year at St. Lawrence University (thanks to Suffield). TAYLOR ENDRESS
Hey, everyone! So this last year has been a total whirlwind for me. I left Allegheny College and enlisted in the Navy. I absolutely love serving our country. I’ve been so lucky to be a part of such an amazing force. I am currently stationed in Everett, Washington, on the nuclear aircraft carrier CVN68 USS Nimitz. I work in the air department, so I deal directly with our military aircraft. Right now we are on a Westpac deployment in

support of troops on the ground in the Middle East. We left mid-March for a seven-month cruise. It’s been an amazing journey and has tested every part of me—mentally, physically, and emotionally. You don’t truly appreciate what life has to offer until you are living on a floating city with 5,400 other military members, working 14+ hour days everyday for months on end. So far on this cruise we have been to South Korea, Thailand, Dubai, Bahrain, and are set to hit Hawaii before returning to Washington. I hope everyone from 2010 is doing well. Take care!

I have one more year of school at Lafayette College, then on to working. I’m looking forward to graduation, and I wish everyone at Suffield my best! BILLY GLIDDEN
Since May, I’ve been campaign manager for the re-election campaign of the mayor of Holyoke, Massachusetts. Glad I can represent Suffield in this positive way! BROOKE TASHJIAN
I spent the past two months in Namibia, Africa, volunteering at N/a’an ku se Wildlife Sanctuary. I am currently majoring in wildlife biology at the University of Vermont, so working hands-on with cheetahs, lions, baboons, and tons of other animals is a really great experience for me. I have been there two years in a row now, and this time I left having “adopted” a baby baboon named Kimi. BRIDGET WALSH
This past year has been a whirlwind. I studied abroad in Cuenca, Ecuador, and Santiago, Chile, from JanuaryJuly. My program also took me to Argentina and Uruguay. I can’t thank Harrison Kramer ’08 enough for convincing me to go; he did the same program two years before me, also at Syracuse. We reconnected to trade Chile stories in NYC this summer and also saw Everest Wein, Xavier Pollard,
Tyler Arnold ’10 and brother Jeremy Arnold ’06 riding camels in the desert on a ten-day birthright trip to Israel in August 2013
and Jamel Torrence ’12, which was a very pleasant surprise. While I was abroad, I had an internship teaching modern dance (in Spanish!) to local college sophomores and juniors and absolutely loved it. I also met up with Roshard Bryant ’09 while in Santiago, which blew my mind. Now I’m trying to finish up senior year strong. I have two jobs here in ’Cuse: teaching hiphop and contemporary dance at a local studio and working on the Two Row Wampum Renewal Campaign with the Native American Onondaga Nation of upstate New York. After graduation, I’m headed to Peru with one of my archaeology TAs to work on an excavation for two months, and I can’t wait! I also had a blast visiting my sister, Frankie Walsh ’09, this summer and reuniting with all the summer academy TAs and some ’09ers. I also still see the wonderful Steff Yuan, Hang Yu, and Billy Glidden regularly, who are all doing amazing things. I will always appreciate all Suffield has done for me: encouraging us to pursue our
passions, and giving me the chance to meet some outstanding friends who I believe will make significant differences in the world.

I am abroad in London for the fall! I just finished my ten-week internship in HR at Ralph Lauren, which was incredible. I learned so much, and the people reminded me of Suffield—inclusive, warm, and thought provoking. I plan to meet up with Kara Glassman, Katherine Perry, Erica Robbie, and Shelter Wein! JOEY PALOMBA
It has been a whirlwind fall in Boston. A lot going on in Beantown from a new coach of BC football, to the Red Sox winning the World Series right down the road. It is great to see pictures from Suffield Academy friends studying abroad. I have been busy studying chemistry and riding my bicycle, as I Fall 2013 | 71
