	Roheeni Saxena '08 Roheeni, former Widow's Sexy Speech orator, lives in New York City. There, she is pursuing a Masters at Columbia and maintains a life split firmly between the arts and health advocacy. When contemplating the future, she finds herself wondering if she ought to give up this duality in favor of cohesion. She is expecting to acquire many degrees, and is hoping to tackle fine arts next. When she goes for classical voice lessons, she still sometimes wishes she were singing the energetic "jen"s of Widows music, instead of italian recits. To learn more about what Roheeni is up to, you should check out her website: www.roheenisaxena.com.

	Beth Santos '08 After the fabulous Widows in Washington DC 2008 tour, Beth grasped onto her last living speck of Widowness by moving to the District herself. Previously known as the Timestopper, she continues to exercise her unique timestopping abilities with a number of different activities, including interning at the Embassy of Portugal in a fancy schmancy office, coaching crew to the killer students of Montgomery Blair High School in Maryland, and promoting social peace and awareness as a server at Busboys and Poets. She also meets with friends regularly for coffee, loves exploring the free museums and cannot get enough Ethiopian food!!

	Meera Mohan '05 Meera, former vocal percussion fiend and noisemaker, now resides in central NJ. Here she lives, works, wanders, muses and converses with herself a great deal of the time. She is still trying to figure out what direction life ultimately intends for her to take, and continues to get overly impassioned about issues miniscule and massive. She sometimes reminisces upon and misses the warmth, acceptance and constant nitpicking of her Widows family. Meera retains her penchant for deadpan delivery of inappropriate comments at appropriate moments, in keeping with her life goal to break interpersonal tension with...horrified tension. She is still brown.

	Amy Gordon '03 Amy moved to Brooklyn, NY, after graduating, where she shares an apartment with another Widow alum, Lauren Faria. They don't sing anymore but they do make meow noises at the kitty. Amy has been working at The Museum of Modern Art since 2003, and she is currently Coordinating Editor of Campaign Communications. Her hobbies include cheese, grammar, asian babies, and doing the Humpty Dance (as they did when she was an active Widows member). Occasionally a Widows song comes up on her iPod and she gets weepy in public. These days, Amy's creative energies are focused on being an amateur burlesque performer, specializing in tassel-twirling. She hopes to incorporate some Acapella singing into her act--coming soon to a dark and seedy bar near you! Provided "you" are in "Manhattan." Much love to all Widows, former and current!

	Marie (Giancarlo) Land '01 Marie spent 2 years in Boston teaching preschool before moving to NY to attend Columbia Teachers College. She graduated in 2005 with a Masters in Early Childhood Education and Special Education. In August 2005 she married John Land (brother to Sarah (Land) Werner, also Widows '01) and they moved to Buffalo, NY (her hometown). Currently she lives in Buffalo and is a home-based teacher/therapist for preschoolers with Autism. Unfortunately, other than the ABCs and other children's songs, singing isn't much a part of her life these days... maybe soon, though.

	Elizabeth (Haynes) Klein '00 After graduating in 2000, Elizabeth moved back to her hometown of Chicago to work at A.T. Kearney in management consulting. From 2003-2005, Elizabeth completed her MBA at MIT, and while there, she sang in the MIT co-ed a cappella group the E52s, named after one of the business school buildings on campus. In 2005, Elizabeth married her college sweetheart, Michael Klein, and they both moved to Cincinnati to work for Procter & Gamble. In September, 2010, she gave birth to Lucas Alexander Klein, who loves music, especially when Elizabeth sings Anna Nalick to him!
