Maria Adelaida Aristizabal
Co-Founder
I hold a degree in Business Administration and a specialization in Strategic Marketing, giving me the skills to guide students through the university application process with clarity and strategy. As a College Counselor, I’ve spent over five years helping students successfully navigate this journey.
I’ve worked with almost 100 students from North, Central, and South America, and Europe, helping them find universities that truly match their talents, goals, and aspirations.
As a parent of three who have studied at top universities in the Netherlands and Italy, I understand how important it is to choose the right academic path. This experience helps me connect with both students and parents, offering personalized support to make the process smoother and more exciting.
From selecting the right university to preparing applications and interviews, I’m here to make the process simple and stress-free.
For me, this isn’t just a job—it’s something I love. Helping students unlock opportunities and shape their futures is what drives me every day.

Karin B Murra
Co-founder
I bring over 15 years of experience working with students—as a Spanish and substitute teacher—and as a relocator specialist, assisting international families moving to Greater Pittsburgh, PA. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and a two-year Business Administration degree from a German college. As the co-founder of NextEU, my journey into helping American high school students study in Europe began with my own sons, who are currently enrolled in two highly ranked Swedish universities. Through this process, I navigated the admissions system firsthand and even guided university tours across several countries. I am passionate about helping students achieve their academic dreams abroad, ensuring a smooth and personalized journey to finding the perfect university.
