Christen Hebert Arafeh
Founder, Director
"I strive to provide the college mentoring I wish I would have had when I was applying as an undergrad."
Born and raised in Belle Chasse, Louisiana, Christen knows first hand the struggles associated with navigating college admissions. She used the adversities against her as a low-income, first-generation college student to fuel her desire to attend college debt-free. Her goal was to get paid to go to college, and her hard work and dedication paid off when she was awarded over $900,000 in scholarships for her own college education. She graduated with her BS in Biology from University of Holy Cross in New Orleans and is working towards her MBA at LSUS.

"THANK YOU Christen for an amazing experience! We walked into our first meeting with you feeling frustrated & overwhelmed and walked out feeling motivated with a game plan! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!"
"Christen Arafeh had the ability to relate to my son and encouraged him to apply to colleges. You should contact her. As I was impressed with her knowledge and appreciative of her helpfulness. I recommend her abilities highly!"
"Christen’s network of people and her wealth of knowledge has put my mind at ease as my child takes her next steps in life. There is no way we could have managed to navigate the process of FAFSA and applying to different colleges without Christen’s knowledge of this whole process."
