Proud Alumnae, Proud Podcast.

Ready for a new episode of your favorite Randolph Road podcast? Well, the wait is over.

Our first episode of the new season is here, and you can download it now on Spotify, Apple or wherever you get your podcasts!

In this year’s premiere episode, Mercy President/world-renowned podcaster Alissa K. DeJonge '95 welcomes our Coordinator of Alumnae Engagement Molly Zarnick ’05 to the show to talk about her new role at Mercy and her goals for the position. But that’s not all the pair of alumnae talk about! The conversation gets going with a little insight into Molly’s journey and how she went from wanting to be an orthodontist to a career in speech language pathology and now Mercy! It’s a great story and it provides plenty of life lessons for current students and alumnae! We hope you will take a few minutes to listen to Molly’s story and her thoughts on how Mercy and the alumnae community can continue to grow! Molly is a proud Mercy alumnae and we are excited to have her helping Mercy in this new era!

Tiger Talk is back, and we hope you enjoy it! Stay tuned for more episodes!

Nicole Cizauskas '18 has a recommendation for you.

Next time you're deciding what topping you want to put on your pizza: skip the pepperoni and give haggis a try.

Yes, you heard that right...we said Haggis, the famous Scottish meat dish, which consists of sheep's heart, liver, lungs and stomach.

Since graduating in 2018, Cizauskas has not only stayed curious -- she has lived a life of exploration.

Whether it be trying the national dish of Scotland on her pizza, or studying neuroscience and later health data analytics and machine learning in the United Kingdom, Cizauskas has continued to test her boundaries as she chases her post Mercy dreams.

In a conversation that spans the world of neuroscience to the culture of Scotland and so much more, Cizauskas gives us an update on her amazing life after Mercy and we're hoping you'll come along for one of favorite podcasts in the history of Tiger Talk.

Over the course of 30 minutes, Nicole reminds us about the power of learning, and the power of curiosity. Not to mention what it means to travel your own path.

After showing in an interest in STEM at Mercy, Cizauskas was able to travel across the Atlantic and take on new challenges, and we are so grateful to share her story.

So if you have a few minutes in the car, or you need something to join you on a nice summer's walk this month, please take a listen and marvel at Cizauskas' story, and we promise you won't be disappoint.

Over the last six years, Nicole has seen her dreams take her from the University of St. Andrews to the Newcastle University, and she's not done yet.

As well, a heartfelt thank you to Nicole.

We greatly appreciate you giving us a few minutes of your time, and we remind inspired by your path after Mercy.

Thank you and we'll be following along from Randolph Road!

You never know who will you will find at Mercy High School!

Take this past spring!

We were excited to welcome nationally-recognized business analyst and CNBC contributor Ron Insana to Randolph Road as a special guest speaker.

As part of his visit, Isana toured the school, met with administrators, talked with our business students, and jumped on our Tiger Talk podcast!

We are now proud to share that discussion as the latest edition of Tiger Talk with Mercy President Alissa K. DeJonge '95!

However, our president wasn't alone for the talk. She was joined by our business savvy members of the Class of 2024, Rose Szeghy, Grace McKenna and Tayah Shepard.

As always, DeJonge led a rousing discussion, which touched on a variety of topics. So we hope you give it a listen! Whether you're on your ride home, or need something to listen to at the gym or the beach, this episode is available anywhere you listen to podcasts.

Spotify, Apple, Google -- you name it. You can find it there. Just dive in and hear about Ron's visit to Mercy and what are students learned from the experience!

In just a few days, another round of state tournament action will begin for our basketball, hockey, dance and cheerleading teams, but before we look ahead it is time to look back.

This week, our Podcast President Alissa K. DeJonge '95 is back for another round of Tiger Talk, and she's assembled members of our most recent state championship to talk about their historic state title victory from the fall.

So if you have a few minutes on your ride home, or need something to listen at the gym, or you simply want to hear the story of this year's cross country title from team members Eliana Fraschilla '24, Caroline Phillips '25, Clara Romero '25 and Sarah Roberts '26, please push that play button and dive on in.

Together, Fraschilla, Phillips, Romero and Roberts give DeJonge a behind-the-scenes look at what it took to get bring home the program's first state championship in 30 years and raise a new banner at Mercy.

As well, we hope this podcast gets you in the mood for tournament action, which starts this weekend with the Dance Team and continues Monday with Hockey and Basketball.

Here's to a strong run for the Tigers over the next month or so, and of course, another edition of Tiger Talk!

It is that time of the year again!

In a few days, we will once again be opening up the doors of Mercy High School for our annual Fall Open House. As always, the event marks an exciting time for our community. Not only are we getting a chance to meet the potential future of our school, but we're getting an opportunity to showcase everything we love about Mercy.

In the lead-up to the event, which is arguably the biggest and most important function of the year, our intrepid Podcast President Alissa K. DeJonge '95 sat down with a couple of our student Ambassadors (Jill and Emily) and our Director of Admissions Rachel Papke '98.

Together, our Admissions crew and our President previewed the upcoming Open House and the role of a Mercy Ambassador in the latest edition of Tiger Talk.

As we count down the days till Sunday's big event (1-3 p.m.), we hope you give the episode a listen. It will give you some insight into everything that goes into our Open House and the impact of our Ambassadors.

Here's to a great Open House, and another episode of our favorite podcast!
