LILY ALIG
I’m currently working as a reporter with Business Insider on their home and kitchen team. I test bakeware, so I bake cakes for work and find people who I can give them to, which is probably the best part of my job. I thought there could never be too much cake...until I made four in one day!
KAYLIN ALLSHOUSE
I was able to work as a PA on a film called Linoleum starring Jim Gaffigan back in November. As that wrapped up, I continue to work on productions in Columbus and New York - anything from comedy to a doc about the Olentangy watershed. Very happy to be living with Maddie Lockyer ’20 and also adopted a moody bunny from Craigslist named Mojito.
LIZZIE BOYLE
I'm in Seattle working as the finance director for Rep. Kim Schrier, MD. I've been working for her in some capacity since January 2020 and it continues to be a privilege to work with someone so committed (and free medical advice on the side has been an unexpected perk this last year!). Eagerly awaiting the Fauci ouchie so my social circle can once again expand beyond my rapidly growing plant collection.
RACHEL COHN
I'm loving living in Chapel Hill, NC as I work toward a master's in library science and hopefully a career as a public librarian. I'm grateful for my Kenyon education every day and miss the feeling of being on campus and so close to my friends. After seven years, I'm finally framing my Kenyon pennant that has previously been Command-striped to seven different walls.

MIA FOX
Mia moved into a Philadelphia apartment with Quinn Harrigan. The corner sushi restaurant knows their take out order which makes them proud and a little concerned at their sushi intake. This summer Mia will hike around the city with the U.S. Forest Service.
TAYLOR HAZAN
In the decades-long two years since graduating, I only feel closer to Kenyon and the people who made it special. Seeing all of these conversations about racism, equity, inclusion, and justice continuing on and off campus reminds me just how special this place is. We can keep growing and learning and changing because we trust in the potential of the Kenyon community. We can love a place and also continue to help grow it. Though I am not going to be a part of Alumni Council for much longer, I am always here as a listening ear!
MICHAEL LAHANAS-CALDERON
I've moved in with the beautiful Bella Blofeld here in beautiful Berkeley, CA. I'm still working for Inequality Media, now as a Digital Strategist. Bella just got a job working for the World Wildlife Fund, which is very exciting. We've also recently commissioned art of our cat from another Kenyon alum. Beyond that, I'm eagerly awaiting for my turn to be vaccinated, so I can go back and visit my family in Ohio, whom I haven't seen in over a year!
BRENT MATHENY
Currently an Editorial Assistant working for Oxford University Press in NYC.
CONNER McELDOWNEY
Just wrapped up my first year as a 3d printing technician at Ample Inc. It's a really exciting and unique position that I couldn't have found without my Kenyon education, and especially my experience with the Kenyon VRC through the art history department and Professor Zhou.
SARAH McPEEK
Back in December 2020, I qualified for candidacy in my PhD program in Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior. This summer, I'll be digging into my field work on a little explored toxic plant - beetle pollinator - spider predator community at Mountain Lake Biological Station in western VA.
AUDREY NEUBAUER
I'm currently completing a Masters of Sustainable Development at the University of St Andrews in Scotland. It's a welcome challenge during this stressful year.
DANIEL OLIVIERI
I'm (somehow) working as a computer programmer for the company Vanguard and living down the street from the Liberty Bell. Been doing my best to replicate Peirce's fried plantain recipe with mixed results. Hope everyone's doing well.
PHILIP SHEERS
I spent a great 6 months living with Alex Beatty ’21 and Ishan Mirchandani ’20 in Annapolis and became a proud dog uncle. I am excited to move back to Baltimore as in person teaching opens up, and am looking forward to transitioning back into the international relations field after this academic year!
JASMINE WILSON
Hey, y’all! 2020 certainly was a wild year for the entire world, and I hope that you all made it through with as little scars as possible. Now thankful to be in 2021, I am still happily living in my hometown of CLE. I recently began grad school at Cleveland State University pursuing a Masters in History - kudos to the American Studies Dalton Fellowship from Kenyon! I will also begin teaching full-time in Cleveland come August in either middle grades ELA or math. Excited for this new journey almost two years out!
