We want to hear from you!

Erin Ricker Ansell writes, “School has started here in Dakar, Senegal, and after we dropped off our daughters (Lucy, fifth grade, and Emily, third grade) and shed the obligatory tears about how fast they are growing up, we immediately opened champagne and toasted the fact that they are again someone else’s problem for eight hours a day. I know I’m not the only one who did this, so judge not.

We spent the summer in the mountains: a little bit of the Alps and a little bit of the Rockies – my favorite, of course. Jeremy and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary in August back in Keystone, CO, happily joined by my mom and my sister, Mollie Ricker ’97, and her family. We’re here in Senegal for another one or two years. Living by the ocean for the first time in my life still hasn’t lost its sparkle. I left the U.S. government in June of last year and am now consulting for the World Bank and the United Nations on matters related to infrastructure, energy, and climate change resiliency. It sounds more impressive than it is in some ways; I’m just as overwhelmed as everyone else at the scale of poverty and the challenges in sub-Saharan Africa right now, especially as already-fragile economies attempt to recover from COVID and the fuel and food crises brought on by the Russian attack on Ukraine.”

Jody Morse Al-Saigh writes, “I started as a human resources representative with Insperity in July. I mostly work from home, but when I go into the office, my building in Tysons is next door to Katie Carberry Irving’s school, BASIS Independent, so that’s fun! We were already in regular contact anyway, and she’s helping counsel my daughter on her college applications. I also see Gina Cordero a lot, especially during hockey season at Caps games.”

Shanté Anderson Gabriel shares, “I’m a producer of the TV series Double Cross, which follows two siblings on a quest to save the women in their neighborhood from a sex trafficking ring. Season four airs in February on Amazon Prime and WE tv Network. I hope some of you have time to watch.”

Sandy Gentles writes, “The Gentleses celebrated summer break by heading to a safari in South Africa. It was the journey of a lifetime for sure!”

Annabel Forde Olah writes, “I am a nutrition coach, health coach, pilates instructor, and wellness advocate with doTERRA. As a pilates instructor, I offer a wide range of in-person and online classes via my website, alignpilatesvienna.com With the waitlist for classes at my original

0 Sandy ’94 and Laura Gentles with their daughter, Kate, and son, James, on safari in South Africa, summer 2022 studio becoming longer every day, I opened a second location at Evolution Health & Fitness in Vienna, VA, in October 2021. I love to help others create and execute a plan for internal and external healing using a well-rounded diet. I use the therapeutic properties of essential oils and overall holistic wellness in all of my practices. It is the combination of all of these things that I am committed to sharing with those looking to not just exist in this world but truly LIVE. I believe nothing is ‘cookie-cutter,’ and I help design personalized plans for people to reach their specific health goals.”

Perry Aldigé Shure writes, “My husband, sons, and I moved from Houston to Washington, DC, about five years ago, and now all three boys are Potomac students. The best part of the school is the Middle School, where absolutely nothing recognizable has changed. In fact, I substitute taught in Ms. Lorenz’s room this past April. Loads of memories.

Summer was busy, and we just arrived back in Washington from spending time in Sun Valley, ID, with my close friend Tiffany Tuttle and her sister, Alex Tuttle ’97. I’m also in touch with Mia Whang Spiker Johnson, Tyler Wilkins, Becca Grad Droller, Jonathan Kilberg, Paige Mader, and Lizzie Holt Darman. Mia and Becca live locally, but the rest are scattered around the country, and Paige is overseas. I just wish I saw more of all of them!”

Sally Steponkus Roche writes, “My husband, Tom Roche, daughter Libby (4), and I had a great summer of vacations in Maine and Ponte Vedra, FL. Libby continues to delight us; she is funny, sweet, sassy, and getting a real handle on swimming. We welcomed a new member to our family in October 2021: a Boston terrier named Bridey. I continue to work as an interior decorator in DC, and my firm, Sally Steponkus Interiors, recently celebrated its 22nd anniversary by hiring a fifth employee. I am in touch weekly, if not daily, with Eliza Robinson Rosen and visited her this July in Chicago. I send lots of love to the Class of ’94!”

Matt Rowan reports, “After leading a design studio at the DC office of Gensler, I resumed my bad habit of getting hired by my clients, this time to reimagine the residential lighting division at Dominion Electric Supply Co. We designed and launched a new brand, Dominion Lighting, and completely redefined our showroom experiences to better align with the needs of our clientele and industry. Some of my classmates may have seen on social media that I also get to take on the profoundly uncomfortable task of creating podcasts and online videos. The never-ending gift of public ridicule and proof that the camera adds 20 pounds are delightful.

When I’m not embarrassing myself in my professional life, I act as an outstanding husband to my endlessly patient wife, Claire, and a questionable father figure to my sons, Will and Andrew. I’m proud to say that Will follows in his old man’s footsteps as Dominion’s Saturday showroom host. Andrew began his first year in high school as the starting quarterback on the freshman football team. Anyone who knows me well understands that this natural athletic talent raises some prickly questions about paternity. Nevertheless, being a dad to these two has made me more well-rounded as a person, and I’m thankful for it.”

Kate Lopez Weymouth writes, “Hello, Class of ’94! I am in Delaware, where I have a small private psychiatric practice, serving patients from Baltimore to New York. I also serve as the consulting medical professional to the Third Circuit of the federal judiciary, mostly teaching the judges about relevant wellness topics. This summer, my husband,

Timo, and I enjoyed a trip to Portugal, planned as a reunion for his Deerfield Academy classmates. Anyone up for planning a Potomac reunion trip?”

Mike Wilhelm writes, “After moving back from Japan, I settled with my wife, Sara, and our children in Colorado Springs, CO. Our oldest two boys, Andrew and Peter, are in college at the University of Utah, studying computer science and engineering respectively. Our two oldest girls, Emma and Abby, are in high school and are avid runners and swimmers. Madeline, the youngest, just started first grade. We spend most of our free time hiking, mountain biking, road biking, running, camping, and skiing. Life is good in the West.”

Heather Wilson writes, “Greetings from Tongva/Chumash territory, also known as Venice, CA! As we have all experienced in a multitude of ways, the world has completely transformed over the past 2+ years. People’s priorities have changed, and as a result, so has the workplace. In that regard, I’m excited to share that I’ve returned to diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging work in the healthcare and tech start-up spaces with fellow Potomac alums and dear friends Ali Jost ’97 and Melissa Lafsky-Elsten. It feels enormously fulfilling to share my unique perspective as a thought partner to forward-thinking leaders and organizations seeking to foster inclusive cultures of belonging where everyone can bring their entire selves to work. I specialize in one-to-one transformational leadership coaching; intensive workshops; and inclusive talent attraction, engagement, and retention. You can learn more about my consulting work at www.embodieddiversity.com. Please pass it along to anyone you know who is serious about developing or enhancing their DEIB strategy.

Thank you to 2022 Class Reunion Chairs

Julia Bissell and Patrick Malone for your leadership!

Alyson Cambridge shares, “It was quite a ride! Three different productions, 22 total performances, 250+ pages of music and dialogue, six costumes, five wigs, too many home COVID tests to count, one adorable log cabin, and endless magical moments on and off stage were part of my 2022 summer season at the Glimmerglass Festival. For upcoming performances and new ones, please follow me on Instagram @alysoncambridge.”

Karl Channell writes, “Hi, Potomac People! I hope all is well for everyone. My experience being sealed away in NYC –probably like others’ – ended some things and began others. After ample hibernation time in a small apartment with my wife of four years, we decided our mental health needed space outside the city. We undertook some weekend research missions to the north and east, and we closed on a property in East Hampton at the beginning of the year. We decided that we might as well get the most out of work-from-home life by building a new home together close to a beach, swapping out honking for frogmating ritual sounds. I’m still living the urban/suburban combo life for now and learning how to street park three subway stops away from my city apartment.

The non-stop video calls might have gotten to me, as I quit Google after 10 years. Instead, I’m switching from leading an augmented reality UX team to leading design at a partner’s new company, Things, Inc. Our focus is on self-expression, play, and simple creation experiences for new software builders. Hopefully, we’ll figure out what people love to create on their screens but can’t already do before we run out of money. But above all, I’ve acknowledged that life is precious, and it’s more important than ever to bring something positive and meaningful into existence, whatever that might be.

Much love to everyone, give me a shout if you’re out East Long Isle way!”

Valerie Plesch shares, “In August, I was awarded a reporting grant from the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting to pursue stories about Afghan refugees who have been resettling throughout the U.S. My grant project, After the Fall: Afghan Refugees in America, explores and chronicles the challenges faced by refugees over the last year. I’m thrilled that my stories were published on PBS NewsHour, where I collaborated with Morgan Till ’91, The San Diego Union-Tribune, and DCist. I’m also excited to continue my work with the Alumni Governing Council!”

She says, “My Ogilvy journey started 14 years ago when I was hired as an executive assistant – and now I’m being recognized on the 40 under 40 list! I received this nugget of advice early on: ‘If you’re not a little uncomfortable, you’re not in the right role.’ Fortunately, my leaders and mentors kept placing bets on me along the way, pushing me to places well outside my comfort zone. Uncomfortable became my norm. And somewhere along the way, I started believing in myself.”

Seyoung Hong’s piece, Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire of 1911, was selected for display at the RISD Museum as part of the exhibition Inherent Vice. Of the piece, Seyoung says, “This print depicts the missing narrative of the human cost it took for safety and health regulations to be implemented in garment factories. Shadowy discharge-dyed motifs on a dark background create a ghostly effect alongside falling figures illuminated with gold foil transfer.”

Robert O’Brien spent his summer working on Smartfin at UC San Diego. The Smartfin research project aims to improve oceanographic data collection near the shore. Smartfin consists of a fin that can be mounted on a surfboard and equipped with temperature and location sensors and a wireless device that transmits the data to the cloud. Researchers are developing algorithms to analyze that data and better understand what is happening to water conditions near shore. Collecting more data is important because there are few existing tools to gather this information in the tumultuous area where waves break.
