I come to College Coach having completed my tenure as a Senior Assistant Director of Admissions at Brandeis University. At Brandeis, I was the territory manager and application reader for high schools in New England, the Mid-West, and my home state of Texas. I reviewed and made decisions on applications for programs including business, the arts, sciences, humanities, and social sciences, as well as many applications from undecided students, In addition to recruiting students and making admissions decisions, I was also a member of the Campus Visit Experience team where I managed nearly 60 student Admissions Ambassadors and Admissions Fellows. We led countless campus tours, information sessions, and panels with the goal of authentically giving prospective students insight into life on campus. Prior to my time in admissions, I worked as the college advisor for two high schools in the Boston Public School system. There, I helped hundreds of high school seniors pursue their post-secondary aspirations, whether that be four-year or community college pathways, or job-training programs and apprenticeships.
This week we learn more about college admissions counselor Blair Dixon’s own college and admissions journey, as well as her hobbies and interests (yetis, anyone?).
