Laurie did an excellent job simplifying and talking through the topics that all of us parents wrestle with.

Let me tell you! Navigating college applications and essays for your high school senior while working full-time plus having other responsibilities is no laughing matter. Before working with Laurie and her team, I was super stressed out about my daughter's college admissions applications and associated essays. Making sure that she kept on top of those deadlines, including scholarships and grants, was way too much for me, especially knowing how our children don't always listen to what we, as...

Laurie helped my daughter, who is a rising high school senior, and I go through a process together which was extremely helpful in her decision on what occupation, college degree, and which colleges she wants to pursue. It has given her confidence in her direction and she is truly excited about her post-high school future instead of anxious about overwhelming decisions in an unknown direction. Thank you, Laurie, for using your expertise to help me have some peace of mind and to help my daughter...

Our son had already completed an Exploratory Studies class at his university and had explored lots of majors, but still did not have confidence in choosing a major and a career path for his future.  Laurie’s use of the Harrison Assessment was a key to his coaching. The assessment affirmed his strengths and abilities and the reports that Laurie shared with him gave detailed information about how his strengths line up with specific careers.  This gave him the confidence to look again at a career...

My Ideal College provided my daughter with vital information about careers where she could not only succeed, but also thrive because she’d enjoy what she was doing. Ms. Genevish’s individual attention coupled with the time she took to discuss results and what they mean in the real world was so personalized—that’s not something you find in other places. I’d recommend My Ideal College to anyone planning to further their education.

My daughter's one-on-one counseling with Laurie took us from "no clue" to a very viable career choice that we both feel good about! I am so impressed with the process and how specific the results of the assessment are. The confidence that comes from knowing we've found something that matches not only my daughter's interests but also how she thinks and interacts is invaluable! Laurie gave us great insight for our particular situation, which was so helpful for narrowing down options and keeping...

Eric is really a good kid and I think your evaluations made him feel worthwhile again, so money well spent.

As a homeschool family we found Laurie's services invaluable when it was time to have our son focus on his plans for the future. We wanted to make the best use of Georgia's Move On When Ready (Dual Enrollment) program. Other career aptitude tests we looked at seemed so generalized and lacking the information we really needed to make an informed decision. The testing and follow up meetings with Laurie helped put our son on the correct path for choosing a college!

Having my daughter work with Laurie was nothing short of amazing. Through Ideal College and the college assessment tool, I was able to get a clear understanding of my daughter's interests, strengths, and weaknesses. This opened the lines of communication for both she and I because I found out what her passion was versus what she was doing as it relates to college. We were able to discuss the results in greater detail and as a result, she changed her major and is now studying in the area that...

I have been very pleased with having Laurie work with my son. We agreed that he felt “stuck” because he didn’t have a real feel for what he would do with an associate degree in STEM for a future career path which hampered his ability to find a college match. After he completed the consultation and testing with Laurie, my son was surprised at what his interests were best suited for. The assessment opened his eyes to look at fields and career that he would have never even considered (and...
