Alex Truax ’07 in New York City with two of his former students
2007 ALEX TRUAX
I’m ecstatic to be returning to Oregon this summer to carry on the work I started with Teach For America four years ago. After three years of teaching in low-income communities in New York City, I joined TFA’s Recruitment Team and spent the past year recruiting college students in upstate New York to enter the classroom. Once I move back to Portland, I will be managing TFA’s recruitment efforts at the University of Oregon and Brigham Young University.
2008 CAITLIN DONOVAN FISH
I am finishing up my one-year intensive graduate program at the University of Washington in the Special Education Department. I have been studying Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), a therapy treatment for children with autism and other developmental delays. After
34 Oregon Episcopal School
graduating in July, I will study and sit for an exam that will certify me as a Behavior Analyst in November. Currently, I’m working as an in-home therapist doing early intervention ABA at a small agency called Sum of Learning. I’m very passionate about my work with the autism population. My husband Mike and I celebrated our two-year wedding anniversary this past January and are looking forward to traveling more once I’m done with school.

2008 COLIN MACLEAN After completing my bachelor’s degree in Nanotechnology from the University of Leeds in England, I went on to earn my master’s degree in High Performance Computing at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. I wrote a program to search the human genome for indications of recent natural selection using supercomputers for my master’s thesis. I have continued to collaborate on this project with my former project supervisors after graduation. We have already published once based on my algorithm redesign and are now working toward a second publication. I graduated last November and have since moved back to Portland.

Meital Singer ’08 with Art Ward
2008 MEITAL SINGER Hello to all my OESian friends! After several years in public radio, including a one-year stint at a show in D.C. called Interfaith Voices, I’ve returned to another one of my passions: linguistics. I’m halfway through a master’s program at Brandeis University in computational linguistics, an area of computer science, and this summer I’m working at a startup in Boston and focusing on speech recognition. I would love to reconnect with other OESians in Boston!
