Carolyn P. Francis, founder and President of Carolyn Francis Consulting, counsels students and families on their journey through the under graduate college admissions and post-high school planning. She received a B.A. in History from Colorado College and an executive MBA from The University of Denver.

After graduating from Colorado College, Carolyn worked in retail and manufacturing for many years, before joining the Board of the Denver Waldorf School (DWS) leading her back to her first passion of higher education. At the DWS, she provided leadership and vision during multiple advancements such as the creation of a development program that has successfully contributed to the continued physical and financial growth of DWS, and has led the Board during the purchase and move to a new larger, much-needed facility.
