I've dedicated over three decades to the field of higher education, honing a deep expertise in financial aid that stems from a genuine passion to simplify this complex process for students and their families. From my earliest days advising eager learners at a local Truck Driving School, through roles in admission, student advising, and teaching college transition courses, I've maintained a steadfast commitment to clear, accessible, and personalized financial advice. My hands-on experience extends to my own family, having navigated the college preparation journey alongside six children, enriching my professional knowledge with a profound personal understanding of the challenges families face.

Through The Financial Aid Academy, I aim to impart not only my extensive knowledge but also the empathetic approach that has defined my career. Each lesson is tailored to the realities of financial planning for college, ensuring that families are empowered with the insights and strategies necessary to secure the best possible financial aid packages. As a seasoned educator and advocate, I remain focused on demystifying the financial aid process, providing the families with the tools and confidence needed for success in their educational endeavors.
