College Navigator

Personal help staying on top of every deadline and decision — so nothing slips and you don't leave aid money on the table.

Who this is for

Busy parents of rising juniors and seniors who want to stay organized and on-time through the college process — without becoming admissions experts themselves or paying $6,000+ for a full-service consultant.

What we do together

  • Master timeline & deadline tracking: every application, test, FAFSA/CSS, and scholarship date in one place — with a reminder before each one.

  • Regular check-ins to keep your student on pace and answer the "what do we do next?" questions.

  • Navigate the paperwork: FAFSA/SAI and CSS Profile walkthroughs, account setup, and application logistics.

  • Money & aid guidance: merit & National Merit, WUE, 529, GI Bill/Yellow Ribbon — plus net-cost comparisons so you don't overpay.

  • A balanced school-list framework: reaches, targets, and real safeties that fit and are affordable.

  • One calm point of contact, so the whole thing feels organized instead of overwhelming.

Payment plans available. Note: I don't help with application essays — they're often the hardest part, and a dedicated essay coach makes a real difference. I'll gladly refer you to one.

Founding-Family Offer — 25% Off

I'm taking my first 3 families at a founding rate — 25% off — in exchange for honest feedback and, if it goes well, a short testimonial. Limited spots; first come, first served.

An Honest Promise

I keep your family organized and on-time, and help you navigate the list and the money — the things you can actually control. No one can guarantee an admissions decision, and I won't pretend otherwise. What I can promise: no missed deadlines, a smarter list, and a clear plan to pay less.
