About Me

I’m a digital publisher and small business owner based in Guttenberg, New Jersey. After graduating from Baruch College, I spent the last three years building KartiKart.com, a minimalist jewelry brand that donates 5% of every sale to fighting human trafficking.

Along the way, I discovered a passion for building niche information sites that help people navigate topics that are often confusing, full of jargon, or buried behind paywalls. That passion turned into a growing network of free resource sites — each focused on a specific topic where I felt everyday people deserved better, more transparent information.

My approach is simple: research deeply, present clearly, and never charge for information that should be freely accessible.

Building Spot Scholarships

Spot Scholarships exists because paying for college shouldn’t require navigating a maze of outdated listings and predatory scholarship search services. I built this site to connect students with real, verified scholarship opportunities — organized by state, major, and demographic — with clear deadlines and honest award amounts. No fees, no spam, just opportunities.
