About Us

As a first-generation college graduate, my journey to higher education wasn’t easy. I moved to the U.S. a few years before starting college and had to figure out financial aid on my own. My parents, although hardworking, didn’t have any experience with college. 

As a first-generation college graduate, I understand how overwhelming college decisions can feel. After moving to the United States, I had to learn the college system on my own because my family had never experienced it before.

That experience shaped my career.

Today, I help students and families navigate one of life’s biggest decisions—from exploring careers and choosing a major to paying for college and preparing for a workplace increasingly shaped by artificial intelligence.

For more than a decade, I’ve worked with students and families in college admissions, financial aid, career development, and student success. My goal is to simplify complex topics and help people make confident, informed decisions that lead to meaningful careers and less student debt.

I hold a College Counseling Certificate from UCLA and have guided students through career exploration, college planning, financial aid, and workforce preparation. I’m also the author of the award-winning book Secrets to Saving Big on College, where I share practical strategies for lowering college costs.

Through articles, newsletters, workshops, and speaking engagements, I help students, parents, and educators prepare for the future of education, work, and lifelong career success.
