As the principal of Syosset High School since 2010, I have had the privilege of helping thousands of students and their families navigate the complexities of high school and their journey toward future goals. Over the years, I have witnessed firsthand how overwhelming the college admissions process can be for students and parents alike. Inspired by my experiences guiding my own daughters through this challenging journey, I launched The College Admissions Process Podcast to help families feel more informed, confident, and supported.
Since its inception, the podcast has grown into a trusted resource for families nationwide, featuring over 300 episodes that include in-depth conversations with college admissions professionals—those who lead the teams making decisions that shape incoming classes. With 15,000–20,000 downloads each month, the podcast has become a go-to guide for families seeking clarity in the admissions process. Building on these insights, I also authored Straight From the Admissions Office, a book that distills the most valuable lessons and actionable advice shared by admissions professionals across these interviews.
My presentation, which then leads to a Q&A with the audience is designed to:
Simplify the Admissions Journey: Break down the application process into clear, actionable steps that families can follow with confidence.
Share Insider Knowledge: Feature direct advice and quotes from admissions professionals, offering insights that students and parents won’t find elsewhere.
Offer Tailored Guidance: Customize each presentation to meet the unique needs and priorities of your group or school community.
If your group is interested in learning more, I would be happy to discuss how I can bring value to your community through an engaging and informative presentation. My presentation includes multiple audio clips from the many college admissions professionals I interviewed on the podcast.
