About Sandy Aprahamian: Your Success Navigator

Beyond the Acceptance Letter: A Vision for the Future

For over 25 years, I have served as a teacher, tutor, mother, and consultant. Throughout that time, I saw a recurring pattern: families focused so much on the "noise" of the admissions maze—rankings, prestige, and application deadlines—that they lost sight of the ultimate goal: the student’s life after graduation.

At EDNavigators, I have reimagined the college process. I believe that "best-fit" isn't just about where a student spends four years; it’s about where those four years will take them. My mission is to help students discover their Internal Compass first, so they can select a college that serves as a strategic launchpad for a fulfilling and successful career.

The EDNavigators Difference: A Specialized Toolkit

I bring a unique blend of high-level educational expertise and deep psychological insight to every student I mentor. My approach is grounded in three core pillars:

• Career-First Discovery: As a Certified Life Purpose Life Coach and a certified practitioner of the MBTI, Strong Interest Inventory, and Birkman Assessment, I help students identify their professional direction long before a single application is filed. We find the career fit first, making the college selection a purposeful, high-ROI decision.

• Building Academic Stamina: I believe that test prep is more than just a score. It’s about filling educational gaps and building the critical thinking skills and stamina that students need to excel in college and land competitive internships later.

• Boutique, White-Glove Guidance: To ensure every student receives the dedicated, one-on-one attention they deserve, I intentionally limit my consulting practice to a select group of families each year. You are never just a number; you are a family I am helping navigate toward a successful future.

My Foundation & Credentials

My work is backed by a lifetime of academic rigor and professional commitment:

• Master’s Degree in Education, Seton Hall University

• Bachelor of Arts in Economics, Bucknell University (Minor in Education)

• Independent Educational Consultant Certificate, University of California, Irvine

• Professional Member of IECA, NACAC, and the National Test Prep Association

• 25+ Years of Experience across public, cyber, and homeschool environments

A Partner in the Journey

As a parent, I understand the weight of this investment—both emotional and financial. My goal is to replace the anxiety of the "unknown" with the clarity of a proven roadmap. Together, we will ensure your student doesn’t just get into college, but launches into adulthood with confidence, clarity, and real career traction.
