<糖心Vlog>Alumni Network Coordinators

<糖心Vlog>Canada

Montreal

Alumni Coordinator: Perry Chuinram

Contact Information: Email Perry directly

What I'm doing now: I am an IT Business Analyst at a bank in Canada. My work involves IT cost reporting, management, monitoring, explaining and modelling changes.

Vancouver

Alumni Coordinator: Meghan Henselwood

Contact information: Email Meghan directly.

What I'm doing now: I am a Financial Analyst for Lotus Pacific Investments Inc and the job includes modelling of new investment opportunities along with running models on existing properties to assess new leasing and sale options. I live in a suburb of Vancouver, North Vancouver, which is close to 3 ski hills, beaches and the famous Grouse Grind. More importantly I am less than an hours drive away from Squamish, which is home to some of the best rock climbing in the country.

Why I volunteer: I think networking is important to a successful career and what better way to start than fellow alumni.

New York

Alumni Coordinator: Sarah Laimo

Contact information: Email Sarah directly.

What I'm doing now: I am an Associate Editor for Practical Law, which is an online legal publisher based in New York and London. We create and maintain practical resources to which attorneys can subscribe. I live with my husband (and a cat named Pickles) on Long Island. It is a nice suburb, close enough to enjoy Manhattan but with easy access to the beaches in summer.

Why I volunteer: At a past Lancaster alumni event in New York we met an English-JYA couple exactly like us who we are now close friends with. You never know who you will meet! It is fun to get together and share stories and is a wonderful opportunity for friendship and building networks.

Chicago, Milwaukee & Madison

Alumni Coordinator: Natalia Pashkina

Contact information: Email Natalia directly.

What I'm doing now: I relocated from London to Chicago and currently work as a Senior Financial Analyst.

Why I volunteer: Isn’t it wonderful to meet new people and good old friends and reminisce about the Lancaster adventures?! Plus, it is a fantastic opportunity to network, expand horizons and of course become friends.

Washington D.C.

Alumni Coordinator: Jessica Barrow

Contact information: Email Jessica directly.

What I'm doing now: I'm primarily involved in intellectual property work. I assist the Managing Principal at the world’s number 1 patent litigation/prosecution firm. I also attend Georgetown Law School here in DC undertaking a legal master's in international business and economics with a focus on litigation at the International Trade Commission and protection of intellectual property rights.

I moved to DC in March of 2013 to work for a US Senator and life progressed from there; co-authoring a DC Bill that protects human trafficking victims, authoring the judicial nominations on behalf of the Senator in 2013 and attending a high-profile law school, I have been very lucky. DC is a beautiful place to live and work. Please contact me if you have any questions or would like advice finding placements in the US.

Why I volunteer: Bringing people together from across generations to share memories and build a network of Lancaster alumni in DC that can assist the next generation of alumni!
