Greetings, Class of 2012!

Please enjoy the following updates from your classmates:

Noah Heau writes, “As I am reading this email for Wesleyan class submissions, I happen to be waiting at a New Haven car dealership due to an unexpected flat tire, and it made me reflect on my time at Wesleyan University since its campus is less than 40 minutes away. The car is not mine, but we are on a group road trip to Provincetown. I asked my partner, Joe, whether I should submit a Class Notes update, and he encouraged me to do so.”

Han Hsien Liew writes, “I published my first book, titled Preaching Pious Rulership in Medieval Islam: Ibn al-Jawzi’s Political Thought (Edinburgh University Press, 2026), this past February.” Here is a link: Preaching Pious Rulership

Matthew Hurwit and Angela Allan ’11 had a daughter back in 2022, who turned four this year and is starting Transitional Kindergarten (TK). Matt has been publishing more music as Almonds and Elephants, and Angela continues to build her private practice, EMDR/ketamine therapy business in Berkeley, California.

Tasmiha Khan writes, “I’m still in the Midwest and finishing up my Nova Media Fellowship, where I’m doing work on caregiving for young children. I recently won the 2025 Peter Lisagor Award for Best in Education Reporting from the Chicagoland area. At the moment, my life revolves around my kiddos. When I have a moment, I work on my consulting firm that I started to help organizations with impact and storytelling.”

Matias Seijas writes, “I’m living in Red Hook, New York, these days [and] up in the Hudson Valley, where I founded above & within, a sound therapy studio. I lead community sound baths, private sessions, and curated events across the Hudson Valley and Brooklyn, all rooted in deep listening and presence. The practice has grown steadily: group monthly gatherings, weekly studio sessions across the region, and events at spaces like Opus 40, the outdoor sculpture museum in Saugerties. This summer I also began teaching for the Sound Healing Academy, training new sound practitioners. It has become one of the most meaningful parts of my life, and I’d love to share it with any classmates who find themselves in upstate New York. You can learn more about my practice here: abovewithin.com.”

Lizzie Simon bought a house in South Seattle this year and is enjoying spending time with her housemates/close friends (three adults and two kids under three). She continues to work as a nurse practitioner, sited within permanent supportive housing for people with severe mental illness. She has co-captained a local ultimate Frisbee league team for close to 10 years now. She visited Nica Latto again in Prague this spring, and within the US, she sees Bryce Fintel ’17, Emily Brown, and Lauren King ’15 most often of her Wes friends.

Thanks to those who contributed and feel free to pass along notes at any time!
