Cynthia has a passion for illuminating and clarifying the financial landscape of higher education and finding colleges that will meet families’ budgets. She enjoys helping families explore options for merit and/or need-based financial aid, and introducing international options for interested students.

The most rewarding part of college planning for Cynthia is getting to know her students and matching them with colleges where they’ll thrive.
