Meet the Team
The Heart & Strategy Behind Mamas’ College Knowledge
At Mamas’ College Knowledge, you won’t find a rotating team of consultants or a big, impersonal office. You’ll find Cabrina and Ivy — two passionate, experienced, and thoughtful moms who’ve turned their professional college counseling experiences into a personal mission to help families like yours.
We know what it’s like to sit in your shoes — as parents, as advisors, and as people who care deeply about getting it right. That’s why we do this work personally, bringing both warmth and wisdom to every conversation, essay, and application.
We don’t just help students get into college — we help them discover who they are, what matters to them, and where they’ll thrive next.
