Jordan Shapiro

Co-Executive Director of College Counseling

I am thrilled to serve the Ransom Everglades community as the Co-Executive Director of College Counseling. I have dedicated my career to helping students and families navigate the complexities of the admissions process. Originally from Boston and raised in Coral Springs, I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a BS in psychology and earned a master’s degree in school counseling from Suffolk University. My career includes roles in the admissions office at the University of Miami and as a college counselor at Pine Crest School in Fort Lauderdale. After relocating to Boston in 2021, I returned to admissions, most recently as Director of Admissions Engagement at Northeastern University. I couldn’t be more excited to be back in Miami where I met my wife, Cynthia. I enjoy trying new restaurants, rooting for Boston sports, and going on adventures with my wife, our son, Marty, and our corgi, Hugo.

Ransom Everglades School produces graduates who "believe that they are in the world not so much for what they can get out of it as for what they can put into it." The school provides rigorous college preparation that promotes the student's sense of identity, community, personal integrity and values for a productive and satisfying life, and prepares the student to lead and to contribute to society.
