About Janet Turner

Education has always played an important role in Janet’s life. After attending the University of South Alabama on a full-ride Presidential Scholarship and obtaining a B.S. in Finance, Janet moved to Texas and earned an MBA from the University of Texas at Austin, where she funded her education with student loans and off-campus jobs. While living in Los Angeles and working as a corporate lender after graduate school, Janet continued studying and earned the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) certification.

Janet is an active member of several professional organizations, including associate memberships in the National Association for College Admission Counselors (NACAC) and the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA), which further her knowledge in the college admissions process through online resources, college tours, workshops, webinars, and conferences. Janet is also pursuing her Independent Educational Consultant Certificate through coursework with the University of California at Irvine, and completed IECA’s Summer Institute in 2021. These programs provide the knowledge and skills needed to build a business practice in college admissions, addressing legal, insurance, marketing, ethical and general business issues.

In her free time, Janet enjoys running, Crossfit, traveling, and spending time with her family. Janet is a proven effective communicator, problem solver, and consensus builder. Her organization skills and passion for helping students succeed are drivers for her college planning business.
