Kristen Senior is the founder of The Brass Ring. She graduated from Kenyon College (A.B.), Illinois State University (M.A.), and Marquette University (PhD), spending her junior year abroad at Oxford University in England. She has taught high school and college writing and literature and worked in the field of educational publishing as an editor and writer at McGraw-Hill and Shakespeare Squared. Kristen is a life-long learner and considers herself a “student of colleges.” She specializes in helping creative and entrepreneurial students make their best college match.

Kristen graduated from UCLA’s Certificate in College Counseling program with Honors and started her educational consulting business in 2012. Her priority is to help students learn about themselves, identify their interests and possible future careers, and find the “best fit” college that will help them thrive. Additionally, she understands how challenging it can be for parents to launch their children into the world. Her approach to college counseling often focuses on the entire family. She routinely meets with students and keeps parents in the loop with regular emails and phone calls. She can offer students and families a comprehensive college search experience, as Kristen consults with financial aid and test preparation experts.
