Welcome to College TNT!

I'm Jen, your guide to transforming the college journey from overwhelming to enchanting!

Think of me as your "Fairy Godmother" of College Success, minus the wand, but with 35+ years of higher education wisdom! Just as Walt Disney turned dreams into reality, I'm here to help your family turn college aspirations into achievements - and we'll have fun doing it!

After spending over three decades working in everything from college admissions and scholarships to student success and career development at universities across the country, I've mastered the art of making the college journey magical. Currently, I serve as the Director of Opportunity Scholarships at Northeastern University, where I help students discover their own 'happily ever after' in higher education.

At College TNT (To 'n Through), we sprinkle pixie dust on the entire college journey - from freshman year of high school through your first year on campus. Whether you're wondering about what high school classes to take, writing your essay, hunting for scholarships, or making the most of your first year on campus, I'm here to share all the secrets that make the difference between just getting by and truly thriving.

My approach? Think of it as mixing Mary Poppins' practical wisdom with Genie's humor - making complex college prep both manageable and enjoyable. No stuffy lectures or confusing jargon here - just clear, actionable steps delivered with a dash of Disney magic and a lot of enthusiasm!

Ready to start your magical college adventure? Let's make your college dreams come true!
