Navigational Coach

Hi, I’m the founder of Navigate College and your go-to for real, relatable college transition support.

After nearly 20 years helping students succeed in their first year and beyond, I started this platform to give families the clear, honest guidance I wished more parents had access to. I keep things simple, practical, and real—no jargon, no fluff. Just straight talk, solid advice, and a whole lot of heart.

Fun fact: I’ve been mistaken for a student more times than I can count…even when I was the one teaching the workshop.

Ari combines cutting-edge AI smarts with endless energy—no coffee breaks needed! Smart, speedy, and full of info—but when it comes to caffeine runs, that’s still on me.

Fun fact: Ari has a knack for picking out the perfect fun emojis to brighten up blog posts—making sure every message has just the right pop of personality!
