Faculty & Staff List 2026-27

Hello,

 

my name is Meher Hingorani (pronounced Meh-hair Hihn-go-rah-nee), and I am excited to be a Dorm Parent at Hampshire Country School this year. Having spent over 5 years working with neurodiverse youth, I was particularly drawn to HCS's lighthearted and individualized approach to working with students, in a family-style setting! My prior work experience has spanned across several settings, ranging from public school special education, to private tutoring, daycares, and even overnight summer camp! I particularly enjoy supporting students in turning their ideas into fully realized projects, and helping foster a sense of ownership and belonging in their environment. 

 

For undergrad, I attended Rutgers University where I earned a Bachelor's in Information Technology and Informatics, with two minors:  Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, and Comparative Literature. As I pivoted to working with youth, I took psychology courses at Middlesex College as well. Currently I am working on my Master's in School Counseling and School Adjustment Counseling/School Social Work at Merrimack College. I hope to continue working in independent and private schools, supporting neurodiverse students in their paths to secondary education and/or the workforce. 

 

While I am a New Jersey native, I have lived seasonally in Rindge for the past several summers and enjoy the quiet, peaceful environment and especially the nature and the land on campus. 

 

My many hobbies and passions include roller skating, fiber arts (or arts and crafts in general) puzzles and board games, and growing my endless fidget collection. Outside of that I can usually be found testing new recipes, admiring the plants and animals around campus, or sipping on chai and glued to my Kindle (I particularly enjoy reading mythological fantasy). 

 

I am looking forward to getting to know the students, and helping them develop their confidence and skills throughout the school year. I anticipate lots of laughs, high-stakes board games, slightly burnt pancakes, and losing the living room to the occasional large-scale projects—overall, I cannot wait to be a part of dorm life for this unique group of boys and create a safe space for them to learn and grow.
