"I can say with 100% confidence that I was assigned one of the world's preeminent counselors. Her bright smile and commitment to not only her job, but her students as well, eased my transition into college. Applying and getting prepared for college was definitely something I couldn't have done without her. She was an integral part of my successful scholarship application process with her guidance and insight on the process as a whole. Any student would be lucky to have her in their corner."

Lisa and Kevin Taylor, Parents

"When your child first enters high school, you need all the help you can get. There are so many options for students today. Lauren provided amazing, personalized support that was tailored to our child's chosen path. Her knowledge helped ensure he met the academic requirements for some of the nation's top colleges while also giving him the flexibility to pursue extracurricular activities at the highest level. Her understanding of balance helped our son obtain a full scholarship to his first-choice school, a top-tier private university." 

Juliana Franco, Former Student

"As my high school counselor for 4 years, Mrs. Tingle was the most supportive and encouraging person. The college application process and all that it entails is overwhelming, especially for first generation students like myself. Going through the application process, the financial aid process, and even the emotional process that college entails is not one any student or parent should have to face alone. Having Mrs. Tingle in my corner advocating for my future success has shaped me into the student I am today. She will always have my back and truly wants me to succeed." 

Lorraine Holeman, Colleague

"With over 8 years of experience helping her students plan for life after high school, Lauren has mastered the art of the college application process. She meets students and families where they are and uses unmatched creativity and drive to guide them towards their goals. A relatable and caring expert in her field!"
