Andrew Kang writes that he is “ecstatic to share that I married the woman of my dreams November 2025 at the Boston Public Library. Our story began like no one else’s—through the Hinge app. But then COVID struck one month into our relationship, and the rest was history.”

Brett Keating and Annie Saperstein ’14 (transferred) married each other on Cape Cod in September, supervised by three generations of more than 30 Wesleyan alums. Aaron Kalischer-Coggins, Zach Dravis, Sara Guernsey, Richie Starzec ’14, Zach Libresco ’13, and Andrew Hove all spoke, sang, and/or carried the groom home, and Richard Saperstein ’83 and Dale Hernsdorf ’85 each delivered toasts to honor their daughter, the bride.

William Henry Sikes writes in with a poem.

Kate Gibbel married her Wesleyan crush Alex Kelley ’13 in October 2025. Her first book of poetry, Little Sound, will be published by the University of Chicago Press Phoenix Poets Series in October 2026.

Silvia Diaz-Roa writes, “After Wes, I did my MPH and MBA at Yale then moved to NYC. I founded a start-up then left the start-up. I’m currently trying out ‘corporate life’ in NYC for the first time—though the siren song of the start-up world will likely pull me back in soon. On the personal front, my partner, Phil, and I moved in together this past year! He came with me to our 10-year reunion and it was so fun walking him down my memory lane at Wes. When I’m not working, I’ve been diving deep into women’s health advocacy and launched a resource site, www.withbea.com, to share what I’ve learned. If any Wes grads are in the health or tech space in NYC, I’d love to connect!”

Armani White shares, “This past year I opened my recreational marijuana shop, Firehouse (www.shopfirehouse.com), in my hometown of Boston. It’s been an almost eight-year-long project that the Boston Globe has covered.”

Ilan Weinschelbaum writes, “I got engaged in 2025! My fiancée is named Ellen, and she is a labor organizer. She’s awesome. We met when we were doing our PhDs at the University of Oregon—hers in theater and mine in mathematics. I also elevated my small business this year. I am a fiduciary, offering comprehensive financial advising/planning services with all associated investment and insurance licenses. If you want to learn about my practice, you can connect with me on LinkedIn.”

Grace Nix says, “2025 was quite a time! After graduating from the CalArts MFA Acting program, I moved to LA proper and dove into the acting world—auditionin’ and bookin’ and auditionin’ and performin’. I’ve also done a lot of casting for verticals (ask if you dare). Enjoying it all and excited for 2026.”

Lizzie Jáuregui celebrates her first year as director of residence life at Saint Peter’s University —a career that she started because of her role as a resident advisor for Clark Hall. She also got engaged to her non-Wesleyan fiancé, Alving Ramos.
