My name is Lindsey Saarie. I live in Friday Harbor, WA, and consult with students and families all over the PNW!

I graduated from The Boston Conservatory in 2010 where I earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre. After working in the theatre in various capacities, I decided that my favorite role was as an educator, so I went back to school (PLU) for my MAEd and began working as an English and Drama teacher at Lincoln High School in Tacoma, WA.

After leading several cohorts of students through college and financial aid applications, I became curious about how to demystify the college admissions process and returned to the classroom (this time remotely) to complete a certificate program through UCLA in College and Career Counseling. I am using this education to further my work with students and artists as they pursue postsecondary and career goals.
