Melissa Haims
Assistant Director of Admissions

Hometown: West Hartford, CT 

Why ACPHS is special: Everyone loves to have a home away from home. The ACPHS campus provides the comforts that one can expect at their own residence to be transferred here, allowing for the simplest of transitions into each semester.

The best thing about Albany: There is so much to do, whether it is going to see a show at the Palace Theater in Albany, apple picking in Altamont, or going to the track in Saratoga.

Accomplishment I am most proud of: Moving to Albany and earning my Masters in Educational Administration and Policy Studies from the University of Albany.

Favorite music: Jason Mraz, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Train are some of my favorite artists, but 90's pop is my guilty pleasure.

What I do for fun: I love yoga, reading, and spending time with friends and family.

Why I work in Admissions: I like connecting with students and helping them through the exciting process of going to college.

Where do I recruit?: Queens, Long Island, Staten Island, Brooklyn, Bronx, and Manhattan.
