It is a definite change from my graduate school work, but I love it.For fun I like hiking, camping, and traveling. My most recent trip was to California with my fiance we started in San Francisco, went to Yosemite and Napa, down the coast to LA and San Diego.

After graduation, I moved to NY and took a sales job. After 7 miserable months, I ended up getting a job as an assistant in the voice over department at a talent agency. After two years I moved on to my current company, Paradigm, as a voice over talent agent. Ive been in this position for 4 and a half years now and work in the promo/narration department helping networks find the right voice for their promos and narrators for their documentaries. Lots of Deacons in the city and usually get together for Wake football and basketball games which make the fall and winter busy times. I play rec league football and basketball and try to take at least one week a year to leave the country. In the last few years, Ive been to Seville in Spain, Prague in the Czech Republic, Budapest in Hungry, Munich in Germany and Playa del Carmen in Mexico. At the end of the month, I have a trip to Florence and Rome in Italy. Still single, although Ive been to at least 15 Wake Forest weddings over the last 4 years. (New Yorkers tend to get married later.) I also enjoy ridiculing Duke fans about their crappy football team and disinterest in their basketball team until tournament time. Last updated October 2007.Josh Grab ( 2000, MA Mathematics). After graduating in 2000, I turned down a job at the NSA (which would have been interesting the following year, Im sure), and started teaching math at Forsyth Tech, allowing me to stay near my eventual wife, Leslie. We were married on campus at WFU in Davis Chapel in 2002 (we had to move our wedding date one week to avoid homecoming) and moved to UNC after Leslie finished her Ph.D. at Wake in 2003. Ive since earned a second masters, this time in Biostatistics from UNC and currently work for the Duke Clinical Research Institute. However, this spring we are moving back to Winston-Salem, where my wife has accepted a job offer from the law firm Kilpatrick-Stockton to do biotech patent law. (And just in case youre not reading between the lines, Im looking for a job in Winston.)Our most expensive hobby has been international travel. We havent branched out from Europe (except a quick trip to Niagara Falls), but weve seen quite a bit across the pond. Last summer it was Ireland with our soon-to-be teenager, Garrett. Were not sure if it replaced Germany as our favorite destination, but it was a great trip, especially having 65 degree days in August Last updated January 2008.Stephanie (Reddy) White (2000, BS Mathematics minor Education).
