Ciao a tutti!
My name is Kristen and I'm the founder of College Bloom. I've mentored students for nearly 20 years who seek cross-border opportunities through higher education. I combine my experience as a Fulbright alum rooted in educational anthropology with prioritizing financial planning—if you're a motivated student with solid grades, my resources are here to help, no matter your budget.
My journeys in talking to students throughout the U.S., Panama, Mexico, Spain, Brazil, and Italy have been truly eye-opening, especially in the diversity of our backgrounds. I have given in-person lectures, hosted workshops, and crafted one-on-one programs for high school and university students about countless opportunities in studies abroad.
I continue to research, and simplicity is one of my core values. I also network with young learners and families in my current home in Italy, discovering together alternative forms of education. I believe in environmental activism, cultural awareness, and meaningful reflection and dialogue. I work toward a green future.
"What I think I loved the most about working with Kristen is that she didn't only care about me getting good scores or getting into a good school. She cared about me as a person, and she wanted me to be happy and successful, whatever that meant for me."
