Hi, I’m Dr. Christie Murray


I am a life long learner. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering from Hampton University, a Master of Science degree in Computer Information Systems from the University of Phoenix, a Master’s degree in Business Administration from Strayer University, and a Doctorate in Business Administration from the University of Phoenix. 

I am committed to helping others reach their full academic potential. After getting accepted into college and receiving numerous scholarships, I developed a passion to help others get accepted and graduate debt-free. By working with thousands of families, I recognized the need to develop resources and courses with impactful information on how to get accepted into college and graduate debt-free and share this information with students and families who are less likely to get the information they need.  Therefore, I wrote and published two books (with student workbooks) titled, “College Planning Strategies I Wish Someone Had Told Me” and “College Funding Strategies I Wish Someone Had Told Me” to provide much needed strategies and information that she wished someone had told with me!

"Dr. Christie Murray's proven college planning and funding strategies work! I graduated college debt-free and was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Navy."
