Gecko Alumni Talk #3 (Caroline Lochabay '08)

A few weeks ago I spoke with Caroline Lochabay, Class of 2008. Caroline now practices law in Northern Virginia after gaining a BA at University of Texas in Austin and a JD from William and Mary.

Caroline was on the first Destino Peru trip and was a member of a 5 person(!) graduating class back in the early days of SIS’s high school.

One of my favorite stories about Caroline came from Ms. Mili who told me that when Caroline was quite young she would be one of the last people to leave school because her parents both worked late.

“Do you live here?” Caroline finally asked Mili one day because Mili was there when Caroline arrived to school and still at school when her parents eventually picked her up. “Yes,” Mili deadpanned. “In my country, we sleep at our place of work to minimize the commute.”

Caroline speaks Spanish, has wonderful memories of her time in Saipan, and gives some great advice to our high schoolers. Please give it a watch!
