  Jennifer Weeden 

  Director of Admission

  508 490-8203

  Bio

  Jennifer Weeden joined the Fay School admissions team in July 2019 as Assistant Director of Admission and she now serves as the Director of Admission. She has over 20  years of admissions experience, having worked from early learning through to the secondary school level and with day and boarding school families. 

  
  

  The part of her work that Jennifer enjoys most is meeting and getting to know applicant students and their families. “Hearing about all the things each student loves to do, finding out what has worked well in school, and learning about each student’s hopes and dreams for the future makes this work endlessly rewarding. Helping parents understand the fit between our program and their child as a learner and as a citizen of the world gives them a chance to consider both who their child is today and who their child is poised to become.”

  
  

  Jennifer lives nearby with her family, and they all enjoy cooking together, traveling, and spending time outdoors. She has participated in Fay's Community Connections group to help foster dialog within our open, caring, and diverse school and has served as a student advisor. She has coached town soccer, volunteered with the Girl Scouts, and has mentored elementary school students through a reading program in partnership with Boston Public Schools.

  Bio

  Alex Fernández joined the Fay School admissions team in July 2024. He works as an Associate Director of Admission & Director of Financial Aid and enjoys working with families from all over the world. His favorite part of the work he does is when the families he meets early in the school year complete the admissions process and enroll at Fay; it is a rewarding full circle moment for him. Equity and inclusion are deeply important to him and he strives to add to those efforts in as many ways as possible.

   

  Before Fay, Alex worked in the admissions office at Middlesex School for five years and also served as a basketball coach, head of a dorm, student adviser, and faculty adviser for a couple of affinity groups. Prior to that, he worked in admissions at Oliver Scholars for three years, a NYC-based program that helps 8th grade Black and Latinx students get into independent schools. As an alumnus of the program, he was able to attend Concord Academy for high school, followed by receiving a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from Dickinson College and an Ed.M from the Harvard Graduate School of Education with a focus on Educational Leadership, Organizations, and Entrepreneurship. He is incredibly grateful for all of the educational experiences he's been able to pursue.

   

  Alex lives on campus with his wife, Jamifel, and their dog, Natalie. He enjoys spending time with them by exploring delicious food spots in Massachusetts, driving to NYC on weekends to visit family and friends, and traveling in general.
