Happy birthday!

We asked the alumni below, celebrating a birthday today, December 15, "Where are you now?" Here's what they said...

 

Elizabeth Chambers MBA '91
Sawadee kha from Bangkok! I'm currently posted to Bangkok, providing financial oversight for the U.S. Agency for International Development's programs in Thailand, Burma, Laos, and Timor-Leste. Exploring the country by bicycle while enjoying spicy Thai food and culture. Still trying to master the five tones of Thai.

Tara Corrigan MBA '16
Hello, Team Fuqua. After a few years abroad, I'm currently living in Washington, DC with my husband, Brian (MBA '16), and 11-month-old daughter, Frances. I work at a strategic consulting firm called The Messina Group as the company's COO. We love getting outside and exploring Shenandoah National Park, as seen below.

Carolyn Bartholdson MBA '96
Happy holidays from Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, where my family moved from NYC in 2020. I have been enjoying the perks of suburban living, including owning a washer and dryer for the first time in my adult life. I love my text chain with 10 of my Fuqua classmates, including my birthday twin, Hilary Keates. Happy birthday, Hil!

Roxanna Goudarzi '09, MMS' 10
Hi, Team Fuqua! After living in Los Angeles for seven years and working at a B2B accounting software company, BlackLine, I moved to Chicago, where I recently joined Amazon as a Product Manager in the transportation space. In my free time, I enjoy exploring local Chicago neighborhoods and, recently, traveling to national parks (photo taken this fall in Acadia National Park!).

Patrick Heffernan MBA '13
After habitating in multiple states and countries, I eventually decided home is home and returned to NYC. I reside in Manhattan with my (patient) wife and our two sons, both of whom compete for the spare time we (don't) have. Work-wise, I'm the portfolio manager and lead real estate investing for a private financial institution, which enables me to travel frequently and connect with friends across the globe.

Hilary Keates MBA '96
Where am I now? I go back and forth between Boston and Barrington, RI. During the pandemic, I started playing tennis again and got to appreciate where I live with runs to the beach (pictured here). I love being able to make a small impact on our earth through my work in Climate Technology.

Navin Masson MBA '10
I currently work in finance in Manhattan, where I live with my wife and two boys. During the holidays, we especially love the city, where we can see the Rockefeller Tree, go ice skating, and connect with fellow Fuqua alumni at happy hours.
