Speakers
Christian Labrador is the lead consultant and founder of Non Finis Consulting. He started the company because he vividly remembered the stress and pain caused by college admissions and wants to relieve that stress from others.
Through working with students, he knows how to find students’ passions, align those passions with their college interests, and locate schools that best fit the student to ensure growth, success, and happiness.
Also, while at Brown University, he reflected upon the added difficulty of the college recruiting process, despite being recruited as a golfer. By being interviewed and receiving offers from multiple colleges, along with applying and getting accepted to numerous schools, Christian has the experience needed to help guide those looking to embark on the challenging journey of being a student while also an athlete at the highest level.
