Most families approach college backwards. Students are pushed to chase prestige before they understand who they are. Parents are told to “just fill out the FAFSA” and hope the numbers work out. That approach creates anxious students, overwhelmed parents, and families overpaying for college by tens of thousands of dollars. I believe college planning should start with clarity. Clarity about who your child is. Clarity about how they are wired for success. Clarity about which colleges are truly the right fit — academically, personally, and financially. As a former Director of Financial Aid at USC, I’ve worked inside the system families are trying to navigate. I understand how colleges evaluate admissions, build financial aid offers, and where families unknowingly leave money on the table. But my work is about more than helping students get admitted. It’s about helping students succeed with purpose, on purpose. I help families solve BOTH sides of the college equation: • Helping students find the right-fit path • Helping families meaningfully pay less for college My work combines: • admissions strategy • financial aid expertise • career and purpose-driven guidance • financial fit analysis • scholarship and appeal strategy Education is one of the largest investments a family will ever make. My job is to help you make it wisely.
