This week, Webb proudly welcomed Lauren Carballo as the new Director of Admissions and Student Affairs!

Upon receiving her Bachelors of Arts from Muhlenberg College, Lauren went on to work as a Spanish teacher at an inner city high school.  Subsequently, Lauren served as Assistant Director of Admissions as well as Co-coordinator of Multicultural Recruitment at Lafayette College. Since 2010, Lauren has served as the Associate Director of College Counseling at Friends Academy in Locust Valley.

While at Friends Academy, Lauren advised and counseled students through the college admissions process, including guiding athletes through college recruitment and assisting arts students with creating portfolios or preparing for auditions, and she also served on the Academic Council. In addition to her admissions and academic counseling duties, Lauren served as assistant coach of the school’s track team.

As Webb’s Director of Admissions and Student Affairs, Lauren will create and implement creative recruitment strategies, advocate for students, develop a plan for performance measurement of the admissions process, and work collaboratively with other members of the Webb community to establish and implement programs that help ensure student success.

This summer, Lauren received her Masters of Education from Northeastern University.  When not at work or in class, Lauren enjoys tackling puzzles and is always excited to try out something new, such as ballroom dancing or dog agility training.  Lauren is looking forward to becoming a part of Webb’s unique community.
