Meet Sammy Lederman ’18 (Newark Academy ’22, Brown University ’26). While currently majoring in public health and biology on the pre-medical track at Brown University, Sammy also studies the violin in Brown’s Applied Music Program. This past semester, as a member of the Brown University Orchestra, Sammy had the extraordinary opportunity to perform alongside renowned musicians, including 16-time Grammy Award Winner Itzhak Perlman and his protégé Randall Goosby. Sammy was also selected as one of the soloist performers for a masterclass led by concert violinist Randall Goosby.

In Sammy’s words, “Looking back on my musical education, I owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to Far Brook. Being introduced to music at such an early age sparked a passion within me that has opened doors to lifelong connections and unforgettable experiences. Without Far Brook’s influence, I may have never discovered the sheer joy that playing my instrument and creating music brings me. While I feel that Far Brook has provided me with a solid foundation in every academic field, I'm especially and forever thankful for the role that Far Brook has played in nurturing my love for music.”

Meet Myla Stovall '14 (Pingry ’18, Wesleyan ’22) currently part of the Human Resources team at Fremont Group, a private, San Francisco-based wealth management company. In addition to assisting with day-to-day employee operations, new hire onboarding, and coordinating corporate recruiting and professional development efforts, Myla sits on Fremont's Equity Project Team and co-leads Fremont's inaugural Black Employee Resource Group. Myla recently became a Certified Professional in Human Resources after earning the SHRM-CP from the Society of Human Resource Management.

In Myla's words: "At Far Brook, I learned the value of connection and inclusivity and finding joy in new endeavors. Far Brook's emphasis on the holistic learning journey, one where you not only learn about subjects like math, history, science, and social studies but also learn about yourself and your place in the world, has shaped me into the woman I am in more ways than one."

Meet Belle Koven Walker ‘98 (MKA ‘02, Harvard ‘06, USC ‘12). With undergraduate and graduate engineering degrees from Harvard and USC, and after gaining experience at Google and HERE Technologies, Belle founded and is the Lead Consultant of Belleview Consulting. In this role, she helps leaders reduce friction in their day-to-day operations by diagnosing and correcting systemic issues. Belle recently co-authored a book, "Generation Innovation, Business, Family & the Journey to Success," published by Amazon KDP.

Reflecting on her time as a student here, Belle shared, “Having spent 10 of the first 14 years of my life at Far Brook, it is difficult for me to overstate the impact that the School has had on who I am and what I value. I am deeply grateful for the way tradition, music, passion, and rigor was woven into everything we did. I can see the ongoing influence of Far Brook in how I prioritize activities and opportunities for my son, and in how my consulting practice combines engineering and humanity to rethink the ways teams are structured and collaborate. I'm definitely a classic example of It All Began at Far Brook!”
