Sisters Olivia Dreizen Howell ‘03 and Genevieve Dreizen ‘05 were recently featured in [New York Magazine](https://www.thecut.com/2023/02/divorce-registries-fresh-starts-registry.html) for their new joint venture, [Fresh Starts Registry](https://www.freshstartsregistry.com/), a company dedicated to lessening the struggles of going through a divorce. Olivia and Genevieve created their company to help people connect to others who might be going through a divorce, as well as to resources like therapists, lawyers – even nutritionists. There is even an option to create a divorce-style registry of needed items to send to family and friends.

The Dreizen sisters have a long legacy with Friends Academy and join a long family tree of relatives who graduated from Friends Academy, including their brother Collin Dreizen ’09 and their parents Lis Dillof Dreizen ’78 and Harry Dreizen ’78. Additionally, their grandmother, Sue Dillof, taught Middle and Upper School Biology at Friends Academy from 1977-1981.
