About Me

Matt Smith holds a bachelor's from Chapman University and a master's from Georgetown, where a work-study job in the admissions office sparked his lifelong passion for higher education. He went on to serve as Associate Director of Admissions and Outreach for Georgetown's School of Nursing & Health Studies, evaluating applications and sitting on the admissions committee.

Matt's career later took him to Datatel (now Ellucian) as a Sales Consultant, then to Parchment as an early employee rising to Chief of Staff and Director of Operations over nine years, streamlining transcript and diploma processes with colleges nationwide, and later to Capture Higher Education as Chief Operating Officer, helping admissions offices improve outreach and enrollment. Along the way, he's visited over 400 college and university campuses across 46 states and 5 Canadian provinces, giving him a genuinely comprehensive view of the higher education landscape.
