Who We Are

Keon Barney

Keon Barney

Founder

Hi! I’m Keon Barney, an Ivy League-educated professional with a dual degree from the University of Pennsylvania’s Huntsman Program, holding a Bachelor of Science in Economics with a Marketing concentration from Wharton Business School and a Bachelor of Arts in International Studies.

Over the past five years, I’ve dedicated myself to helping students achieve their dreams of attending top-tier colleges and universities. My professional journey includes exceeding sales targets at ADP and driving business growth as a Business Development Coordinator at the Black Doctoral Network. Education has transformed my life, providing opportunities to travel abroad and gain invaluable exposure to diverse cultures and ideas.

I am passionate about helping others achieve their academic dreams, empowering them to explore the world and broaden their horizons just as I have.

Chase Yano

Chase Yano

Tech Lead

Hi! I’m Chase, and I just graduated from Columbia with a degree in Computer Science. I’m now a software engineer at Warner Bros Discovery working on the streaming service Max.

I’ve been doing admissions counseling since I was a junior in high school. Nobody from my area had ever sent a student to an Ivy League school, so I started a school club where I taught my peers about how to apply to top colleges. After getting into Columbia, I continued to counsel dozens of students– my clients have gotten into Princeton, Stanford, Northwestern, and more! My favorite things to work on with students is perfecting their admissions essays and working on programming passion projects.

Throughout that whole time, I’ve worked as a tutor across the ACT, SAT, programming, and various AP tests. Back in high school, I got a 36 on the ACT, a 1560 on the SAT, was a National AP Scholar, and a National Merit Finalist.

In my spare time, I like making hip-hop beats on my MPC and working with artists on creative coding projects.

I’m looking forward to working with you!
