  • Brennan Barnard - director of college counseling and outreach at the Derryfield School in Manchester. Brennan has also worked as a teacher and coach and has written about the college application process for the Concord Monitor.
  • Caitlin Connelly - associate director of admissions and director of northeast recruitment at Hobart and William Smith Colleges
