Director of College Counseling
Brandon Carter
Brandon Carter is so fortunate to lead such an outstanding team as director of the college counseling office. He, his wife Francesca, and their children Brooks and Quinn live in Cary, making time for outdoor walks/playdates, enjoying mom-and-pop restaurants, and fellowshipping with their church family.
Associate Director of College Counseling
David Sakyi
David Sakyi enjoyed his time in high school but did not think he would be back in a secondary school setting immediately post college graduation; however, the opportunity to serve as a member of the College Advising Corps and support high school students through their college preparation was too intriguing and fulfilling to pass up. After three years serving as an adviser at Garner Magnet High School in Garner, NC, David joined Duke’s Office of Undergraduate Admissions. After four years of admissions work, he is thrilled to join the Cary Academy community and return to supporting students as they navigate their college application journey.
David completed a BA in History from Duke University and continues to entertain the idea of studying more history…in the future. He loves trying new foods, traveling, listening to movie scores, finding ways to tire out his overly-energetic whippet hound (unsuccessfully), and the fall season. He used to like the spring season until he developed a pollen allergy.
Associate Director of College Counseling
Becca Haque
Becca Haque has worn many hats in education. She’s worked as an undergraduate admissions evaluator at UNC Chapel Hill, a dorm parent at a boarding school, a residence life director at Duke summer programs, and a college academic adviser — to name a few. But being a college counselor in a high school is by far her favorite hat to wear.
Originally from northeastern North Carolina, Becca graduated from Hollins University, a women’s college, with a degree in History and later earned a master’s degree in Career Counseling. She has called the Triangle home since 2010 and has worked in college admission counseling for over 15 years.
A nature enthusiast who pulls over to help turtles cross the road, Becca loves the outdoors and is a helper at her core. She loves demystifying the college process, cheering students on through the triumphs and tough spots alike.
Way outnumbered by all the boys in her life, she lives in Apex with her husband, their three young sons, and two precocious pups — a French Bulldog and a Boxer (the only other girl in the house).
Administrative Assistant to College Counseling
Britton Carducci
Britton Carducci comes to us after a career break to raise her twins. Once upon a time, long, long ago, she began her career in Production Management and Artist Development for Disney Feature Animation, eventually moving on to Blue Sky Studios in Connecticut (ask her who she’s met—she is absolutely not above name-dropping if prompted), after a short stint at Disney Publishing in New York. She has always secretly hoped to one day work in Education and is so excited join Cary Academy. Originally a Jersey girl, she graduated from Rutgers University with a degree in English and Creative Writing. She has moved across the country no less than four times and is navigating life (and the frizz) in the South after moving here two years ago.
Britt lives in New Hill with her one husband, two kids, two dogs and two cats. She is a book addict who loves baking, doing the nature things, doing the artsy things, traveling, and being unbelievably extra for every single holiday.
