Fath amandafath@yahoo.com The Hopkins Class of 2012 has had an active fall and is looking forward to a very eventful 2023! Robbie Emmet married a college classmate in September and started a job as a statistician with the National Agricultural Statistics Service in November. Jay Sullivan started working for a D.C.- based science and technology policy organization called Federation of American Scientists. He is helping build their work on innovation policy in international development. He is still mentoring for Clinton Global Initiative University and attended the Clinton Global Initiative meeting in NYC in September, representing the program. Brian Astrachan got married in October, and just moved back to Connecticut with his wife, Haley, and his dog, Bortie. Emory Werner graduated from Harvard Medical School in May and is now working as a healthcare associate at RA Capital, a Boston, Massachusetts– based healthcare-focused investment firm. Emory, along with Amanda Fath , Erin Rosenberg , and Emily Hall , celebrated Grace Baldwin ’s marriage to Keith Fairbrother in a beautiful ceremony in Barrington, Rhode Island, this past July. Emory, Amanda, Erin, Emily, and Grace also took a recent trip to Barcelona, where they were able to utilize the language skills they first learned at Hopkins. Amjad Talib married Grace Brody in Arlington, Vermont, and danced the night away under the harvest moon with many of his 2012 classmates.

in the Republic of Georgia. Meera Dhodapkar is currently in her fourth year of medical school at Yale, taking a year to complete a Master’s in Health Science and doing clinical research in the Orthopedics department. She just got engaged earlier this year, and has one more year left before she applies for residency (planning to apply to orthopedic surgery). Over in Europe, Davey Proctor moved to Germany last July to live with his girlfriend. He’s continuing his job in enterprise data processing as a consulting engineer, but now is working with his German clients. He has enjoyed travel, with recent business trips to Rome and Warsaw, and after Mara graduates from medical school, they will spend five weeks in New Zealand and Australia. He’s grateful for Spanish and Latin at Hopkins, which made it easier to pick up German, and he consulted in Spanish these past three years with his Mexican clients. They will move within Germany for Mara to start residency, and Munich is the most likely option, so everyone should put Oktoberfest ’23 on their calendars! Last but not least, Sayer Paige started law school at Fordham and is looking forward to following in Walker Schneider ’s large footsteps. Sayer is interested in antitrust law. 2016 Emmanuel C.
