BACK IN THE BUILDING

Omer Aziz-Quintana ’23

Flint Hill alumnus Omer Aziz-Quintana ’23 came full circle by returning to the Lower School as an urban planning expert to guide 1st-graders through their "Noun Town" design project—a career path originally sparked by his own high school Senior Project. In a wonderful twist, current student Paulina Dackiw ’26 documented the story for her own video production Senior Project, perfectly showcasing how these milestone capstone experiences inspire lifelong passions.

CLARE JESSEY ’14

Clare Jessey ’14 returned to campus to speak to the young artists at the Upper School. Clare started at Flint Hill as a gifted soccer player with sights firmly set on the field until a sophomore-year ski accident forced her to pivot and lean into her lifelong knack for art, leading her to enroll in Digital Art I, Darkroom Photography, and take Flint Hill’s Portfolio Art track.

She graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design and now works as a UX/UI Designer for Philips, where she designs patient monitors used in hospitals around the world. She reflected on the pivot that set her journey in motion and how giving this path a fair chance was the best decision she’s made.

ALICIA WALLER ’05

Alicia Waller ’05 made her way back to her hometown from New York City for a special performance at The Kennedy Center’s Millennium Stage on February 22, 2025 with her band, Alicia Waller and the Excursion! She made time for a stop at Flint Hill, where she led a master class for the Upper School Symphonic Choir, sharing her valuable expertiser. It was an unforgettable experience for our students, who had the chance to learn from and be inspired by a fellow Husky making waves in the music world!

ANDREW TROPEANO ’02

Producer and videographer Andrew Tropeano ’02 returned to campus to inspire the next generation of storytellers in Mrs. Huber’s Topics in New Media class! As the head of a thriving video production company, Andrew shared industry tips and real-world experiences with the students—plus, he’s giving one of our seniors a hands-on opportunity by hosting them for their Senior Project.

Jeremy Biggs ’02

Jeremy Biggs ’02 returned to his old stomping grounds, but this time, as an expert speaker in Mr. Smilowitz' Discovery of Engineering class. Now an investment advisor, Jeremy shared his incredible journey—from his days as a student in Mr. Atwood’s class to his career as a nuclear engineer in the Navy. Reflecting on the skills he first gained in that very room, he showed how a strong foundation in engineering can open doors to unexpected and exciting career paths.
