About Me
Carolyn Francis, founder and President of Carolyn Francis Consulting, guides students and families through undergraduate admissions and post-high school planning. She grew up in Princeton, New Jersey, the daughter of a professor, spending her childhood immersed in the university's culture and academic life — an experience that shaped a lasting respect for higher education.
Carolyn holds a B.A. in History from Colorado College and an executive MBA from the University of Denver. After years in retail and manufacturing, she found her way back to education through the Board of the Denver Waldorf School, where she led major advancements including a new development program and the purchase of a larger campus. She began as an ad-hoc college counselor for the school's high school before formally training as an Independent Educational Consultant through IECA. She's a member of NACAC, RMACAC, and HECA, has experience with international, first-generation, and learning-different students, and has presented on college counseling in Waldorf schools at the AWSNA conference. Carolyn describes the satisfaction of college counseling as similar to her love of daily crossword and jigsaw puzzles — helping the right pieces come together. Among her successfully counseled students are her own two children.
