MEET OUR GUEST

Meet Ingrid Latham. Ingrid has been advising students on the college process since 2004.  She enjoys learning about her students' activities and how those might relate to ideas for majors and careers.  Navigating the college process can be more manageable with Ingrid's assistance in creating timelines for completing each task.  In addition to college applications and essays, Ingrid also helps with high school and college course selection, which can be an excellent opportunity for students to explore different interests.  Many of her students return for Ingrid's advice on preparing their LinkedIn profiles and practicing for internship interviews.  

Ingrid has a B.S. in Environmental Engineering from Northwestern University, during which time she worked as a math and chemistry tutor.  After working in engineering for seven years, Ingrid decided to follow her true calling of helping young adults to fulfill their dreams.  Having lived and worked in a variety of settings, Ingrid has an extensive network of former colleagues and students who serve as great connections when her current clients want to learn firsthand information about a college or career.  

Originally from Ohio, Ingrid was the captain of her high school's swim team, a newspaper editor, and a baton twirler.  Ingrid now lives in Wisconsin, where she enjoys nature, walking her dog, reading, rollerblading, and singing in a local chorus.  A fun fact about Ingrid is that she was an announcer for her son's high school and college lacrosse teams!
