CLASS NOTES
Congratulations to the Class of 2016! Although finishing college during a pandemic was not what they could have originally envisioned, these alumnae persevered and have begun to realize their talents in their chosen fields. They are continuing the tradition of Serviam and exercising responsible leadership in ever widening circles. Alessandra (Allie) Cartolano graduated in 2020 from Villanova University, where she majored in Political Science and minored in Psychology and Public Service. Allie is very grateful for the invaluable experience she had at Villanova. She was a part of Special Olympics, Student Government Association, Alpha Phi sorority, and volunteered weekly at an inner-city public school in Philadelphia. Allie also had the chance to spend a semester studying in Florence, Italy. Allie is now pursuing her J.D. at Cardozo School of Law in Manhattan, New York, and is interested in practicing Public Interest Law, particularly Education or Family Law.

In Spring 2020, Daryn Chin graduated from Fairfield University with a Biology degree. It was always a dream of hers to take the MCAT, go to medical school, and pursue a lifelong career in the medical field. Due to the pandemic, some of that changed. Daryn started to bake cookies. Soon her cookies were being enjoyed by many friends and bringing joy to other families. Daryn has now launched her own cookie business, Paper Bag Cookies. Medical school is still part of futire plans but, for now, providing cookies to so many is doing just fine! Jennifer Chin graduated from Northeastern University in December 2020 with a B.S. in Biochemistry. During her time at Northeastern, Jennifer had the opportunity to study abroad in Thessaloniki, Greece, serve as President of her school’s Pre-Dental Association, and complete two co-ops (a Northeasternspecific full-time six month internship) at Bicon Digital Prosthetics and New York University College of Dentistry. Jennifer plans to start dental school in the Fall of 2021.
