CLP ADVISORS
Nathan Cornett
I am 30. I used to think that was old until I went to a 90 year old man's birthday and I realized I had another 60 years to be where he is, an entire lifetime left to live. I am dedicated to helping young people effectively live in their strengths and prepare for a lifetime of success and passionate existence. For me, college was a great experience, but I also wish I would have done it smarter.
It is with a retrospective mindset that I started College Life Planning after many years working with teens, and several more years working in one of the fastest growing colleges in the United States. I earned a Bachelor's degree from San Diego Christian College in Biblical Studies with a minor in Youth Ministry (for those outside of the church world that's basically a history degree with a child psychology minor).
I earned a Master's degree in Organizational Management with an emphasis in Global Management from Ashford University. I have read a dozen books about college planning; they have been my text books. I have traveled to over 10 countries and seen most of the United States. I am passionate about life, and since for most of us College is a HUGE part of life, I want to help student be as prepared as they possibly can. I am an expert college planner with specific emphasis in Financial Aid. I cannot wait to meet you and when we start working together I will de-stress and de-mystifies the college admissions process. Feel free to contact me directly.
