Nikhil Sinha '01
Secretary
E-Mail Nikhil

Nikhil graduated from Carnegie Mellon University in 2005, with majors in Information Systems and Political Science, and a minor in Business Administration. Disappointed that people didn't throw their caps in the air like they do at TJ, Nikhil returned to CMU for another year and another try. He graduated in 2006 with a Master's degree in Public Policy and Management, but cap still firmly in hand. Nikhil now lives in Fairfax, and works for the consulting firm Booz Allen Hamilton. As the lone alum from the current millennium on the board, Nikhil likes to relieve the stress by watching Capitals hockey games and participating daily in rush hour commutes. Nikhil has served as Secretary since 2007, currently serving his 2nd term.

Rachana is serving her third consecutive term as an at-large member, since 2005.

Jason Hintz Llopis '89
Reunions Chair


Jason was a member of the first class at Jefferson Science & Tech, graduating in 1989.  While proud of starting many TJ traditions, he also realized that he will forever be the oldest person at any Alumni meeting (or is it Cindy?   I'm sure she won't reveal her birthday!)   Holding the school's first 20th Reunion this past year was a wonderful experience and great reconnection to the glory of TJ high.  He looks forward to  sharing similar joy with fellow alumni in their upcoming reunions.   A graduate of the Commerce School at the University of Virginia, Jason has spent his last 16 years working for the Walt Disney Animation Studios.  His credits include Tarzan, Treasure Planet, Bolt, and Princess and the Frog.   Jason resides in Los Angeles, CA with his wonderful husband Noel and their second grade daughter, Kathryn.  He is currently serving his first team as Co-Chair of the Reunions Committee. 



Cindy D'Agostino '89

She was on staff at National Geographic for seven years and has been freelance since 2001. She does work for Geographic, Discovery, Smithsonian, PBS and various independent filmmakers in the DC area. She lives in Alexandria with her husband Mike, dog Annie and newborn son Nicholas. She hopes to have hobbies again, but currently can't imagine it with a six week old in the house.
