Kristen Houpt Heim and her husband, Jason, have had just a few life changes since we last checked in. They now have an almost 2-year-old, Theo, and they have also since moved down south to North Carolina. Kristen now holds the position of event sales manager at the beautiful Rizzo Center in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. In addition to the change of pace the South brings, she and her family are loving the fact that they can see her two brothers and their families so much more often!

Caitlin Pozmanter received her Ph.D. in Biology in 2021, and married Sean Maxon in April 2022.
Paul Donoghue ’11, and I, Megan Reilly-Donoghue, married last year, and the postponement was well worth the wait! The waiting allowed us to enjoy our wedding with our family and friends the way we had always imagined, and it was truly the best day! I’m still a sales execution lead with AT&T in National Business Mobility over Ohio and Pennsylvania, and Paul has since been promoted to senior manager for enrollment operations at Western Governors University. We still live in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania, with our two dogs, Ted and Rocky. We love walking to dinner at our favorite restaurants and the gym where Paul also trains part time.
