Management Team

Meredith Eastman, Director of College Counseling 

After earning a BA from Skidmore College, Meredith began her professional career in the Skidmore College Admissions Office. First as an Assistant Director, then as an Associate, Meredith spent six years learning all aspects of the admissions process and reviewing thousands of applications annually. 

After gaining this admissions experience, Meredith decided to flip to the other side of the process so she could use her knowledge to help students in the college search and application process. She attended graduate school at Boston College and earned her MA in Counseling-Psychology, with an emphasis on school counseling for adolescents. Subsequently, she worked as a Guidance Counselor at Hingham (MA) and Wayland (MA) High Schools before joining the Campus Bound staff full-time.

In addition to his management responsibilities, Gregg is responsible for leading all financial aid efforts for Campus Bound.  Gregg has personally walked hundreds of families through the financial aid process.

Gregg’s understanding of the confusing process enables families to complete the efforts in a streamlined and comprehensive manner. Gregg has presented to small and large audiences, has authored several articles and has been interviewed by the media on the topic of financial aid.  Gregg received his undergraduate degree from Union College in Schenectady, NY.
