COLLEGE PLANNING

There is a college completion crisis in this country. Too many families are in the dark about the true cost of college and what it means to actually graduate on time.
Did you know only 33% of college students graduate in 4 years?
I focus on setting families up for success FROM THE BEGINNING.

 In my experience, the college planning process is both daunting and stressful. For most families, the college cost is the most amount of money they'll ever spend in the shortest amount of time. Let me help you create a plan to get your student through college in 4 years instead of 5 by making certain your student is a good fit academically and financially. No other college planner does this.

I help educate and walk families through the entire college process. I focus on academic elevation and "fit", while showing families how to pay. My approach is grounded in research and has proven successful year after year.
