53 S U M M E R 2 0 1 7 A LU M N EWS at Harvard Medical School/ Massachusetts General Hospital. I received an appointment at Harvard Medical School as a clinical fellow in the department of psychiatry and will be completing the program on June 30 th . I have been awarded a Neuropsychology postdoctoral fellowship position with Northwell Health in New York City, which I will be starting on July 1 st ." BRITTNEY HERA writes, "I love working at Boca North Animal Hospital and Pet Inn. The job is very fulfilling. It's a smaller practice which really allows our veterinarian, Dr. Bull, to give each animal the care they deserve. Most of our clients have been with him for decades because of his knowledge, devotion, and humor! I help him give our cats and dogs their regular physical exams and immunizations, as well as assist during our surgeries. Just yesterday we completely removed a malignant tumor from an Australian Cattle dog, spayed a Siamese cat, took out too many bladder stones from a lab mix, and had our regular appointments throughout the day. That was a busy day. As I said, we are a smaller practice. I grew up with all types of animals and loved it, so helping them in any way is very rewarding." DYLAN GRABOWSKI writes, "I'm currently living in Oakland, California where I've been working as a transportation planner for the California Department of Transportation since February of 2015. I've been filling my spare time with climbing in the Sierra; I have about 100 different routes on my resume."

We ceremonially tied the knot on my 30 th Birthday on February 25 th in Santa Monica where we celebrated our marriage in the typical American style.

I am now the Government/Economics teacher at a charter school in Hialeah, the City of Hialeah Educational Academy. It's been amazing getting hands-on experience with the students in the community.
