Meet Ben Lah
Hello, my name is Ben Lah and I am the founder of Pilgrim College Guidance, based in Oceanside, CA. In my day job, I work as a college counselor at an independent school in Orange County, but my broader mission is to make the college admissions process more accessible and less daunting. I have often described myself as a matchmaker, a storyteller, and an occasional firefighter. And while I embrace those various roles, I know my reach is still relatively limited among the many other voices that tend to dominate this process. I am hoping that this side project will help at least a few people out.
