As a first-generation college graduate and experienced admissions and financial aid professional, Kenya saw the gap in the information being provided to students during the admissions process. Determined to make a difference, she created her own business to help students increase their chances for college admission and scholarships, providing expert insights beyond just GPA and test scores.
Kenya’s work is deeply rooted in her understanding of what it’s like to navigate the complexities of the college admissions process.
