Hi, I’m Kristal — and my journey began the moment I stepped into college, feeling completely overwhelmed and unsure where to even begin. The schedule was chaotic, the assignments seemed endless, and nothing prepared me for the whirlwind of college life. It wasn’t until I got my first planner that everything finally clicked.

That one simple tool helped me turn confusion into clarity. I went from struggling to stay afloat to becoming the go-to person for my peers when they needed to know what was due and when. I felt empowered, focused, and ready to take on the challenges ahead.

From there, my passion for helping others grew. I became a peer academic advisor, guiding students through degree checks. I worked as a peer life coach, supporting students on academic probation, and served as a mentor for incoming freshmen adjusting to campus life. After graduating, I continued my mission as a college program manager, running multiple initiatives designed to help students thrive academically and personally.

Through every role and every student I supported, one thing remained constant: the power of a good planner.

Now, I’ve taken everything I’ve learned — the systems, the strategies, and the support tools — and built a planner designed to do more than just track deadlines. It’s here to guide students step-by-step through their academic journey, help build habits that stick, and support their mental well-being along the way.

Because I believe every student deserves the chance to feel empowered — just like I did.
