My name is Laura Henry Owanesian (she/her), and I have been in education since 2008.  I started off right out of college as an English teacher in Chile, South America, completed school counseling internships at public and charter schools, worked in the public school district as a school counselor in Charlotte for three years, and as a college counselor at a private high school in the Lake Norman area for three years. I opened Crescere College Consulting in 2014.

I got into school counseling because I love helping young people become the best they can be. My favorite part of being a school counselor has always been helping students and parents with the college admissions process, matching them to the right college, and seeing their eyes light up when they are accepted. I thrive on that, and it is what drives me every day.

With me, you will get more than just someone who knows about college and has helped a few kids here and there. You will get someone who lives the college admissions life every day, who is extremely current and up-to-date with information, but most importantly of all, someone that your child can relate to.
