With help from his former colleague, Guadalupe, and his former student, Demetri, Jason founded Equitable College Counseling and launched its signature Post HS project as a free online platform in November 2021.
A Silicon Valley native with over a decade of high school counseling experience, Jason was the lead counselor and college specialist at a public Chicagoland high school. Leading 10 other counselors and overseeing 3,600 students, Jason inspired conversations around post high school options through classroom presentations, field trips, and schoolwide events. Jason has assisted thousands of students of all ability levels with college planning. His former students include a U.S. Presidential Scholar and dozens of Ivy League attendees. His scarce combination of education, engineering, and statistics experience is highly unique and yields out-of-the-box ideas. A UCLA and Vanderbilt graduate with two advanced degrees, Jason has solidified his advising pillars using strategies from extensive data collection and years of robust professional development. He is both prepared and motivated to transform the educational landscape.
