Stella Benedetto is a proud Double Warrior of Merrimack College, graduating with her bachelor’s degree in 2025 and now pursuing her Master of Education in School Counseling. During her undergraduate years, Stella stayed busy working across several campus offices, gaining valuable experience in a variety of roles. Her pride and joy was her role in the Office of Undergraduate Admissions, where she discovered her passion for connecting with students and sharing her love for Merrimack. Stella has always known she wanted to pursue counseling and is passionate about helping high school students navigate the transition to college—just as her own counselors once inspired her. She currently holds a Presidential Fellowship in the Advising and Student Support Office within the Lucey Center for Academic and Career Advising, where she helps students strengthen their academic skills and confidence throughout the advising process. She is so excited to take on this new role, going back to doing what she loves most—showing off this wonderful campus to prospective students.
