Pia Silva recently published her second book, Scale Solo, a no-BS business model for experts and consultants who want to charge more and deliver faster—and in which she shares a Wesleyan memory fellow alumni will appreciate.
Smith Louis says, “As for what I’ve been up to lately, I’m working at a food tech start-up in Berlin, and I got married in Copenhagen this past November.”
Dan Lee says, “On December 23, 2025, my firm, Quantify Funds, was honored to ring the opening bell at Nasdaq in Times Square. We were grateful to mark the occasion alongside family and friends who joined us to celebrate this milestone.”
Zach Webster says, “I don’t think I have given class updates in 10 years, if I ever did. After working at Wesleyan for three years, from 2007 to 2010, I decided to go back to law school. I practiced commercial real estate litigation in NYC for three years, then made my way home to California, where I practiced all legal things related to residential real estate. I hung up the law license after 10 years and now am a managing broker at Sotheby’s International Realty Inc. in San Francisco. I love the work (including managing sales agents, though I don’t sell real estate), which I never thought I would say in any job related to law. I live with my partner of nine years in the Castro, where we just bought a house, and we are loving life. Never in a million years did I see myself on this course when I was an American Studies major at Wes, without a clue in my pocket. Go liberal arts education!”
Kevin Lohela lives in Providence, Rhode Island, with his wife and two children (Oliver, age six, and June, age three). He serves as a superintendent leading urban charter schools in Rhode Island and is grateful to be participating this year in the public education fellowship at Yale’s School of Management. He loved spending precious time last spring in Baltimore with Pat Garrity and Rob Weinstock to celebrate Max Kates, and enjoys frequent backyard hangs with next door neighbor, John Wesley.
Liz Dee lives with her husband, Nick Garin ’08, in Hudson Valley, New York. She works as CEO of Edward & Sons, a natural and organic food company and is looking forward to reconnecting with friends at the next Reunion!
Rachel Berger lives in Brooklyn with her husband and two children, ages 12 and seven. Rachel is the senior director of nutrition and meal programs at NYC Department for the Aging, overseeing NYC’s home-delivered and congregate-meal programs for older adults.
Nyasha Foy writes, “I am excited to report that on the professional front, I currently serve as a business and legal affairs executive at an advertising agency, as well as vice chair of the Save the Music Foundation Board, and a board member of the Black Entertainment and Sports Lawyers Association (BESLA). I also recently published an AI article with the New York State Bar Association, “At the Intersection of Progress and Creative Protection: Copyright and AI Battle for the Future,” and look forward to upcoming speaking engagements. On the creative front, I am pursuing a screenwriting career and recently won my first two laurels (!!) for Chili and Boots, a screenplay inspired by my maternal grandparents—both Howard Medical School–trained doctors. I’m currently writing on four episodic projects and several feature films and look forward to getting my projects into development this year. Otherwise, I’m still traveling quite a bit and hope to visit some old and new places this year. See you all in May!”
