Testimonials

Mary Ryan hosted a resume writing seminar for a group of young women in our community. Not only was she extremely informative, but she has the ability to engage a broad range of people with various backgrounds and interests. For an event we assumed would be difficult to motivate college-aged women to engage in, we actually had to extend our time due to the enthusiasm and interest they showed. As a professional, I also found myself taking notes in the back of the room. Mary Ryan’s ability to inspire others to be excited about writing and the ease with which she goes about it really is a unique and amazing gift!
— Dr. Jessica Tullos, Sports Medicine Physician and Community Advocate
I am incredibly grateful for the amazing help my daughter received in revising and editing her college, honors college, and scholarship application essays. Thanks to Mary Ryan’s support, my daughter applied to 12 schools and received acceptance offers from all 12, with scholarship opportunities and honors college invitations from each. She will be attending LSU as a member of the honors college and scholarship recipient, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
