CLASS OF 2017 | 2024 | SUMMER ISSUE

After deciding to pursue a crazy career pivot during senior year at Wes, Sonya Levine is graduating from the Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine in May and starting her residency in family medicine at Brown in June. She hopes to work with dancers again one day and get back to her roots! She is marrying Henry Simon(Bates ’16) this summer, and they would love to have lots of Wes visitors in Providence in the coming years.

Ilana Ladis married Dylan Abrams on May 4 in Charlottesville, Virginia. Of course, Erica DeMichiel and Courtney Laermer were instrumental to the day as bridesmaids and by Ilana’s side the whole time. Ilana is moving back to New England over the summer to begin her clinical psychology residency at Brown University and would love to connect with any Wes alumni in the greater Boston/Providence area!

Julia Tyminski graduated from graduate school with a master’s in speech language pathology in May and will be working in Philly in the medical field with adults and children with swallowing, cognition, speech, language, and voice disorders.

Adam Rochelle is still going strong as a cat person. The release party for his Endless Pants album was crashed by anti-pants protestors, but after much discussion and smooth jazz they reversed their position and declared that pants need not end. He is still riding high from playing Bonnaroo last summer with Matan Koplin-Green ’15 in Paper Idol, and this fall he and Johnnie Gilmore ’18 (who just got his driver’s license, go congratulate him) started a fusion band called Low Poly Cactus (poly as in polygon, not polyamory, though circle back on that one later).

Ketrah Mugambe ’18 and I will be tying the knot in August of this year and are excited to celebrate with friends and family including Wesleyan alumni!
