CHRISTINA KENNERSON
Independent Educational Consultant
Before deciding to pursue her passion and launch College Admission Pursuit, Christina spanned a 20-year career in the field of training and development and served as the Director of Learning Technology for one of the largest real estate development companies in the United States. Her expertise in training strategies, curriculum development and team building provided the perfect foundation for the conception and launch of College Admission Pursuit.
As a result of Christina’s 4-year journey in guiding her son through the college admission process, she realized her passion for the field of admissions consulting and began volunteering to help others through the college admissions process. The reward of helping students achieve their college admission dreams while lessening the stress and anxiety for their parents ultimately led Christina to completing her professional training as an independent educational consultant.
Prior to launching College Admission Pursuit, Christina earned her Independent Educational Consultant Certificate from the University of California, Irvine and completed her IEC training through the IECA Summer Training Institute.
In her free time, Christina enjoys visiting college campuses throughout the US, reading, cooking, gardening, spending time with her two kids, family, and friends and Pilates.
