Sarah Frank, Founder & President of Frank Advice & Simple Studies
Sarah Frank, Founder & President

A bit about themselves:
Hi, my name is Sarah and I am a student at Brown University.

In May 2020, I founded Simple Studies! Everyone deserves the opportunity to do well in their classes, even when faced with challenges such as e-learning or financial difficulties. Education should not come with a price tag.

In May 2021, after my college application process, I started Frank Advice as a way to affordably help anyone else who might struggle with their applications.

In my free time, I write, read, watch TV, scroll aimlessly on TikTok, take photos, and occasionally bake.

I hope you love this site as much as I do! You can reach me at sarah@simplestudies.org.
