Kevin Murphy:
As a lifelong New Jersey resident and the founder of SmartFuture, I’m committed to helping families build a strong financial foundation for successful college planning. Since 2018, I’ve guided nearly 1,000 families, ensuring no free money is left on the table while helping them make financially prudent decisions for college. With my expertise in the college financial aid process, I simplify planning and guide your student toward success, giving you confidence every step of the way.
Pranoy Mohapatra:
Since 2008, I’ve specialized in helping students excel academically and on standardized tests. As college admissions becomes increasingly competitive, strong academic foundations and displayed proficiency are more important than ever. We believe that each student has their own pathway and pride ourselves on not only just providing educational services but also providing guidance and mentorship to growing teens as they find their ways. As a founding member and leader of the National Test Prep Association, I ensure your child receives the highest quality and most ethical test preparation and information available through continuous review of processes, material, student experience, and connection with the testing organizations themselves.
Kimberly Presti:
Using my 27 years experience as a teacher along with 2 master’s degrees and a College Admissions Advising certificate from UC Berkeley, I have guided students through the college admissions process with expertise and care. My extensive background has equipped me with the skills to understand and connect with my students, a commitment I bring to my current role at SmartFuture. I’ve successfully helped students navigate college admissions, tailoring the process to allow them to find the best fit school, and ensuring they are well-prepared for their college journey.
