Cherieann is authorized to serve as a Regional Director of The American College Foundation and is also an Advanced Certified College Advisor.

Cherieann understands the importance of a higher education and also realizes that each family has unique circumstances. Cherieann’s philosophy has always been to ‘educate people on the truth, let them decide how to proceed, then support them in that process.’

Cherieann first became involved in finance in 2008 and is a licensed fiduciary in multiple states. It soon became apparent to Cherieann that families needed help in the very complex field of college cost planning and selection. For those families in Cherieann’s area who would like a more in-depth understanding of the overall college planning process, Cherieann is passionate about teaching and helping those families navigate the oftentimes confusing and complicated process of preparing and paying for college.

“A college education alone does not guarantee success,” says Cherieann, “but it does open many doors which would otherwise remain closed. And everyone should get an opportunity to have those doors open for them and their families. It should not cost the parents their retirement to do so. We need to create a situation where the parents and the student have every advantage walking in, and I absolutely love assisting every parent and student through the pathway of having every advantage possible to be in their court.”

Cherieann was born in a suburb of Kansas City, and now lives in the Raleigh-Durham area in North Carolina, where her and her husband are raising their child together.
