Meet the Admissions Team

Before joining the admissions team, Chris held several positions at Hewitt. As a science teacher, upper school dean of students, and assistant head of upper school, he has played an integral role in curriculum development, faculty mentorship, and student support strategies to foster an inclusive and high-achieving school culture.  
 

Chris earned a B.S. in biology from Drexel University, an M.S. for teachers with a speciality in adolescent education from Pace University, and a J.D. from Delaware Law School. Outside of Hewitt, you can find him coaching his son’s soccer team in Riverdale, running through Central Park, or cheering on the Hawks badminton team at their matches.

Prior to joining the Hewitt community, Megan served as co-director of high school placement at Rodeph Sholom School for eight years. During her 18 year tenure there she wore many hats, including enrollment associate, middle school assistant, and middle school advisor. 

Megan received a B.A. in international studies from Kenyon College and a master’s in social work from NYU. In her spare time she enjoys traveling, reading, solving crosswords, and exploring Brooklyn with her son. 

Prior to joining Hewitt’s admissions team, Liana worked in admissions at an independent boys’ school. An alumna of Teach for America, she has also worked alongside many independent and public school students as a classroom teacher, learning specialist, and private tutor. She has been in education for over 20 years, and the personal connections she makes with students and their families has always been the most meaningful part of her work. 

Liana received a B.A. in creative writing from Ohio Wesleyan University, and her Master of Science for Teachers from Pace University. She lives a few blocks from where she grew up with her two children and their rescue dog. In her spare time, she keeps up with her creative writing and loves to bake.

Prior to joining Hewitt’s admissions team, Hannah worked as an undergraduate admissions counselor at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences. In this role, she guided students through every stage of the college admissions process, including domestic travel and recruitment, reviewing applications and financial aid packages, and executing on-campus events. Throughout her admissions experience, Hannah has found that building personal connections with students and families is the most rewarding part of her work.

Hannah earned a B.A. in psychology from Connecticut College. In her spare time, she enjoys exploring new restaurants in New York City, reading, catching Broadway shows, and traveling back to Massachusetts to spend time with her family.
