Hear From Former Students

Mrs. Pinkelman and I would meet once a week over the course of several months. During this time we went over a plethora of things to help me in my college search. My family is from the UK, so we were largely unfamiliar with how the university systems work, how to apply, and to acquire student loans. I learned how to put together a strong resume that highlights what skills I have learned from work, extracurriculars, and volunteering. Furthermore, I learned not just to find the first college and apply for it. She taught me to deeply analyze a school’s website to find out as many details as possible to determine if it has what major I desired, if there would be scholarships to help pay, and if I truly wanted to go to it, but also not to just look at one school, to try to find multiple so you have options. Through the work we did together I was able to find Western Washington University, which I will be attending in the fall of 2024 to study kinesiology with several thousand dollars in scholarships! I would highly recommend Mrs Pinkelman to anyone wanting help to navigate the process of applying to college and being successful in this.

I approached Lindsay Pinkelmen’s counseling business in search for some guidance about my career path. Her platform led me in a direction where I could narrow down my likes and dislikes and find a pathway that fit me best. I love the dedication she had during our time together. She really dove in and helped me figure out what I love and want in my life. I would recommend Lindsay Pinkelmen’s business to people who need someone who will go above and beyond to help reach your goals.
