meet Jennifer
Certified Educational Planner and Founder of Almoney Educational Consulting
With more than 30 years of experience in education, Jennifer Almoney brings wisdom, warmth, and unmatched expertise to students navigating the college admissions journey. Her mission is simple: to support students in discovering their strengths and building college paths that reflect their goals, values, and potential — not just their GPAs.
Jennifer is proud to hold the Certified Educational Planner (CEP) designation, awarded by the American Institute of Certified Educational Planners (AICEP) — a credential earned by fewer than 1% of independent college consultants worldwide. As of 2024, she is one of only six CEPs in the state of Ohio, reflecting her deep commitment to professional standards, continuing education, and ethical practice.
“Jennifer was a huge help in my college application process! She made an effort to get to know me as a person to make sure I found a college that would be the perfect fit for me. Working mostly over Zoom, Jennifer was able to keep the process less stressful by helping me stay organized. With her help, I got into my top-choice college!”
