Regents School of Austin College Visit Program

Each year, Regents School of Austin welcomes representatives from colleges and universities across the United States to our school to meet with students and to gain a better understanding of what makes a Regents’ education unique. These visits are wonderful opportunities for high school students to learn more about specific colleges, to ask questions about the admission process, and to develop a relationship with an admission counselor at colleges to which they may apply.

Bio
I was born and raised in Tallahassee, Fl where I attended Florida State University and earned my bachelor’s and master’s degree in the humanities. It also was at Florida State that I began my ten year journey working in college admissions and advising, which has also included positions at Texas Tech and The University of Texas at Austin.

My wife Adriana, who is a kindergarten teacher at St. Francis school, and I recently celebrated our one year anniversary and are proud parents to a geriatric cat named Cruba (Dutch for “scratch”). We attend Vox Veniae church in East Austin and in my spare time I enjoy playing banjo in a local band as well has performing gospel music at Hospice Austin’s Christopher house on the weekends.

Bio
Sarah Harris grew up in northwest New Mexico, the third of eight children, and graduated from Hillsdale College in Hillsdale, Michigan with a degree in Liberal Arts and Marketing Management. After graduating, Sarah continued to (barely) survive the Midwest winters and worked for three years at her alma mater as an admissions counselor, visiting high schools and college fairs, reviewing applications, conducting interviews, and working through the admissions process with students from all across the country. Interestingly, it was during one of her early recruiting trips to Texas that she first visited Regents School of Austin. After leaving admissions, she lived in Denver for two years, working in nonprofit development and event planning. In 2016, Sarah moved to Austin and returned to the world of college advising, this time as a high school counselor. She has enjoyed settling into Austin, especially as it has allowed her to cultivate her love of history of the American West, road trips, live music, and breakfast tacos.
