Senior Account Supervisor

A mom of three, I was shocked (and horrified) when our college counselor admitted that she didn't consider cost when creating Rebecca’s college list of “best fit” schools.

How's that possible?  

In that instant, my commitment to learning and sharing what families can do to combat skyrocketing college costs was born.

I spent 100 hours researching and understanding merit scholarships  -- money for college based on student achievement -- for Rebecca.

In the end, our three daughters were awarded $600,000 in merit scholarships. 

The money was great.  The non-financial benefits were priceless.  

Consulting around paying for college since 2011, I firmly believe:

Every student has a right to know how to go to college without going into debt and to gain financial literacy, confidence, and life skills in the process.

Follow me for candid conversations.

I partner with financial educators, schools, associations, financial advisors, corporations, and banks/credit unions to create innovative programs that create distinction by empowering families with knowledge about paying (less) for college. 


Reach out to brainstorm on collaborating or to enhance your positioning and messaging.

When you’re ready, I can help:

•	School districts add curriculum to personal finance courses and provide training for college counselors so you can gain recognition and students can pay for the schools they get into 

•	Financial literacy/financial education providers include content on paying for college that goes beyond loans and budgeting and gives students and families actionable, cost-saving strategies 

•	Financial advisors become confident and competent in leading client conversations that deepen relationships, connect with the next generation of clients, and create differentiation 

•	Government leaders empower their constituents with solutions to skyrocketing college colleges, crippling college debt, and alarming financial illiteracy 

I'm more committed than ever to applying my perspective and expertise to boldly lead a new approach.

Join the movement to give every student and family knowledge about paying for college.  Become a member, currently at no charge, of The Institute for Financial Literacy in College Planning at https://www.finlitinstitute.com/.
