Admissions Team
MEET THE ENTIRE ADMISSIONS TEAM
Samantha Bazile, '07
Hometown: West Nyack, NY
College Major: Social Science
Samantha’s favorite movie is “The Wizard of Oz.” And although there’s no place like home, she vows there’s no place like STAC, either. As admissions director, Samantha oversees the college’s recruitment and admission operations. She says there’s nothing more rewarding than meeting a student at a college fair, watching them become a part of STAC, and seeing them walk across the stage at graduation. She also says she could live on chicken wings, gummy bears and peanut M&Ms. That sounds pretty rewarding, too.
Thomas Sapienza
Hometown: Ardsley, NY
College Major: Music Industry
Tommy says if Hollywood makes a movie about his life, Jonah Hill will get the starring role. A self-professed “pop-culture nerd,” Thomas loves all things Marvel, movies and comic books (which includes his cats, Boba Fett and Harley Quinn). Tommy’s favorite vacation spot is Disney World. It’s no wonder that he appreciates the close-knit, welcoming community at STAC, which we think is the second “happiest place on earth” next to Disney!
Kaitlyn Healy
Hometown: Fair Lawn, NJ
College Major: Communications
Kaitlyn’s favorite vacation spot is Ireland. In fact, her father was born there, and much of her family still lives there. But she’s also a fan of tropical locations, and she’s been to 15 countries in total. When she’s not traveling abroad, she’s traveling to Long Island, Staten Island and Queens on recruiting trips. She says she enjoys meeting prospective students and introducing them to the benefits of STAC. She also enjoys hiking, kayaking and candy corn.
Kristen N. Domeischel
Hometown: Manorville, NY
College Major: B.S, Psychology; M.S., School Counseling
Kristen Domeischel has devoted her career in college admissions and career counseling and holds a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a master’s degree in school counseling from Long Island University.
Ryan Gasser, '17
Hometown: Staten Island, NY
College Major: Sport Management
Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Ryan’s favorite cartoon character, of course! When he’s not enjoying the antics of SpongeBob, singing karaoke or making his famous pancakes, Ryan travels New Jersey in search of STAC’s next freshman class. As a 2017 STAC alumnus and former Mr. Spartan, Ryan knows a thing or two about what it takes to be a successful STAC student. Look for him at a guidance office near you!
