Graduate Trustee Ballot 2025
Dear Fellow Nobles Graduate:
I am thrilled to share with you the 2025 Graduate Trustee ballot.
As graduates, we are responsible for selecting a candidate each year to serve a three-year term as a voting member of the school’s board of trustees. In that capacity, the chosen graduate will help establish and oversee school policy and will serve in an advisory role to the head of school. Each candidate is carefully chosen by the Nominating Committee and they work to make sure that the ballot represents each year’s specific needs on the board. It is wonderful and unique to the Nobles experience that we can participate in board member selection. We are grateful to our outgoing graduate trustee Stacy Scott ’77 and our two current board members Abbeygale Anderson ’14 and David Medina ’05 who join me in representing the graduate body on the Board of Trustees. Both Abbey and David will continue to serve until 2026 and 2027 respectively.
Here you will find profiles of three well-qualified graduate trustee candidates who would bring significant professional experience and commitment to Nobles.
Please vote for only one nominee by completing the enclosed ballot, or you can vote online by visiting www.nobles.edu/vote. In order to count your vote, we need to receive your ballot no later than Friday, May 2, 2025. The winner will be announced during reunion weekend at the Graduates Assembly on Saturday, May 10 at 5 p.m.
Sincerely,
Jessica Baylor ’04
President, Graduates Association
Personal Statement What I love about Nobles is its strong sense of community, where students are encouraged to explore their interests and develop into leaders who care deeply about others. This legacy is sustained by the enduring commitment of its graduates, who remain deeply invested in the school’s continued success, and the faculty, who inspire and challenge students to reach their full potential. I would be deeply honored to join the board as a graduate trustee. I am thrilled to contribute my perspective and commitment to support Nobles’ ongoing success and growth. Through collaborative efforts with fellow trustees and the broader Nobles community, I would work to ensure that the school remains a beacon of excellence and a nurturing environment for generations to come. Bio Cam attended Williams College, where he majored in psychology. He also played lacrosse and was elected team captain in his senior year. As a writer for the Williams Sports Information Office, Cam wrote post-game articles for basketball and field hockey games. Additionally, Cam collaborated with the communications office to enhance student participation and engagement in on-campus events. Since graduating from Nobles, Cam has maintained strong friendships with classmates and faculty alike. In 2021, he returned to work with the varsity and junior varsity lacrosse teams, sharing the skills he developed as a collegiate athlete. Professionally, Cam joined the management training program at Suffolk Construction, working on the Mission Critical team as an assistant superintendent in San Francisco before transitioning to Falls Church, Virginia. In addition to his role in construction management, Cam serves as a community engagement leader for Suffolk Construction’s Virginia office, working with high school students to provide exposure to careers in construction and STEM fields. Personal Statement The Nobles community has remained a constant in my life, whether through faculty mentorship in college, maintaining friendships with classmates in cities near and far, or serving on committees that shape the school’s future. I would be honored to serve as a graduate trustee to give back to a place that has given me so much, ensuring that Nobles continues to equip future generations with the same transformative experience. Bio Since graduating in 2005, Matt has remained closely connected to Nobles. He has attended graduate events in New York City and Boston, served on a subcommittee for the Nobles endowment, and is currently part of the reunion committee for the Class of ’05. Matt attended the University of Michigan, where he continued to receive mentorship from Nobles faculty. After graduating in 2009, he began his career in finance as a macro trader at the Royal Bank of Canada before advancing to roles at various hedge funds and asset management firms, including Millennium Management and Thiel Macro. In 2021, he returned to Boston and joined Fidelity Investments, where he currently serves as Head of Markets for the Asset Allocation Research Team. Outside his professional work, Matt is dedicated to philanthropy. After undergoing a life-saving kidney transplant in 2021, he and his wife partnered with the American Kidney Fund to launch the Living Donor Assistance Program, which is now active in five states and expanding. The program distributes grants to living kidney donors, covering out-of-pocket costs associated with the transplant surgery. Additionally, as a passion project, he co-founded Heli, an adventure travel marketplace that originally focused on heli-skiing and has since expanded across various travel experiences. Personal Statement I graduated from Nobles 15 years ago, yet I’ve always felt connected. Non-Nobles friends have asked why I return for reunions, and I explain: Nobles students become good, talented, interesting adults in countless ways, and I love celebrating everyone’s stories. Going back feels like returning home (I was a boarder, after all). Time passes, yet peers and teachers make it feel like we never skipped a beat. As graduate trustee, I would advocate for decisions shaping future students into good, talented, and interesting adults. My perspective is unique—I experienced six years at Nobles and college as an able-bodied athlete and now navigate law school as a disabled wheelchair user. My injury has deepened my understanding of inclusion and shown me the full strength of the Nobles community, whose support I still feel nine years later. I would use my dedication to our community, passion for advocacy, and leadership experience to ensure different perspectives are heard, strengthening our community into one we can be even more proud of. Thank you again for your consideration.

Her sisters, Brianna ’13 and Lexie ’14, are also proud Nobles graduates. At Princeton, she majored in politics, was a two-time captain of the women’s ice hockey team, and won the team’s award for greatest contribution to the team and embodiment of loyalty, devotion, determination, and perseverance. After graduating in 2014, she worked as a victim witness advocate for the Essex District Attorney’s Office while playing hockey professionally. At the end of 2015, she suffered a life-altering spinal cord injury. Since then, she has raised over $100,000 and awareness for spinal cord injury research and causes. She has been recognized by multiple organizations, including the NHL, Reeve Foundation, Princeton, and Journey Forward for her leadership and dedication to the community. She is currently pursuing a law degree at Suffolk University at night while continuing rehabilitation during the day.Cam Brown ’15
As I reflect on my time at Nobles, I’m reminded of the countless moments that have shaped me into the person I am today. From the friendships I’ve made to the lessons I’ve learned, Nobles has been more than just a school—it’s been a community that has nurtured my passions and encouraged me to become a compassionate leader.
Cam joined the Nobles community as a seventh grader. While at Nobles, he played varsity lacrosse, soccer, and basketball. Outside of athletics, he was a member of Brother to Brother, an affinity group for males of color. In his senior year, he was a teacher’s assistant for the eighth-grade personal development class—an experience that helped shape his passion for mentorship and leadership.Matt Glazier ’05
“Excellence… is not an act, but a habit.” I think often about how my decision to attend Nobles impacted my life. It wasn’t just the incredible network or the lifelong friendships—it was the way Nobles prepared me to be an adult. It provided the tools I needed to succeed and helped me develop my own habits of excellence: mental toughness in and out of the classroom, the ability to embrace creativity, the value of collaboration, and the importance of setting and staying accountable to ambitious goals.
As a four-year student at Nobles, Matt was deeply involved in academics, athletics, music, and leadership. He was captain of the varsity basketball team, played varsity soccer, and was an editor for The Nobleman. He also played the saxophone in the jazz band and was part of the school’s inaugural trip to Vietnam, which sparked his passion for travel and photography—interests he pursued through his senior project, interning at a digital photography gallery in Boston.Denna Laing ’10
