About Me

Stacey Cunitz, Certified Educational Planner, and founder and director of Blue Moon Educational Consulting, earned her BA in Literature and Creative Writing from Barnard College, Columbia University. She went on to earn an MA in Secondary English Education at New York University and a Certificate in College Counseling from UCLA. In 2018, she became a Certified Educational Planner.

After earning her degrees, Stacey taught English at Croton-Harmon High School in NY and at The Crefeld School where she taught MK Asante, author of Buck.

Stacey was the Director of College Counseling at The Crefeld School from 2005-2023. She opened Blue Moon Educational Consulting in 2017. She is an active member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) where she is currently serving on the Nominating Committee; the National Association of College Admissions Counselors (NACAC); and the Pennsylvania Association of College Admissions Counselors (PACAC), where she served as President from 2022-2023. Previous to that, Stacey served as PACAC’s Chair of the Admissions Practices Committee from 2017 to 2020 which is charged with educating colleges, counselors, and students regarding the nature of ethical standards embraced by NACAC and PACAC. From 2019-2021, Stacey also served on NACAC’s Admission Practices Committee which was honored in 2021 with the Margaret E. Addis Service to NACAC Award. In 2024, Stacey was appointed to serve as a Special Interest Group (SIG) leader for NACAC where she co-leads the LGBTQ+ SIG. Stacey has also volunteered as an application reader for Point Foundation’s scholarships which empowers promising lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer students to achieve their full academic and leadership potential.

Stacey is happily married to Dan, a middle school science teacher, and they are the parents of two kids—one in college and one who graduated from college. Stacey enjoys knitting, reading, and watching their backyard chickens. She also enjoys visiting colleges and getting to know the unique offerings at each. To date, she has visited over 260 colleges and universities, and looks forward to continuing to explore new campuses.
