Erin Larcher joined CCCC in 2022 to help meet growing demand and enhance our financial planning offerings. Erin grew up on the Central Coast, graduated from SLO High, received her BA from UC Irvine and Master’s from UC San Diego. She’s spent the last 14 years in Washington DC as a Deloitte management consultant, leading SAS’ business analytics Federal Practice, and growing a real estate portfolio. She is now returning home to pursue one of her passions, helping prepare our next generation for higher education, careers, and financial independence.
Erin benefited from early exposure to conversations around financial planning and wealth creation. When “math” became “investing” she realized proper collegiate and career planning could not only earn her a living, but provide her with early financial independence. Those financial literacy principals are teachable and of interest to many students and families faced with the growing cost of higher education and its implications on career selection, savings and wealth generation. Erin’s goal is not only to help students with the college search and application process, but also to share with students an approach to achieving financial security. Where desired and appropriate, Erin will work with students to establish long-term financial goals; help them understand the role their college, major, and career selections play in that trajectory; and chart a path to achieving those goals. |
After graduating from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, Campbell worked with the admissions office where she oversaw the Student Ambassador Program and coordinated prospective student visits in an effort to ease the campus tour experience. She designed presentations and promotional material for information sessions seen by every visitor to the Cal Poly campus and became a valuable part of their organization.
Campbell also worked for the SLO County Behavioral Health Department. While there she coordinated county-wide middle school and high school wellness programs. This experience in both admissions and teen mental health makes Campbell a valuable member of our team. She understands how to assess student strengths and interests while guiding their efforts to identify best fit schools. Campbell is well equipped to walk students through the college admissions process. |
Erin Ogren is a graduate of UC Berkeley. She earned her certificate in college counseling from UCLA Extension in 2010 and is a periodic speaker at college admission conferences around the country. Her participation in professional organizations and ongoing travel to campuses nationwide keeps Erin abreast of the latest trends in college admissions. Locally, Erin serves as a board member on the Cal Alumni Board and the College Fair planning committee. She has been featured on a variety of admission topics in the Huffington Post, local NBC affiliate KSBY, The Tribune News and in a number of books on college admissions.
Erin understands that each student is unique. Through a rigorous process of query and exchange, she helps students define their goals, bringing structure and clarity to the college admissions process. Empowering students to take responsibility for their college search sets them on the path to independent learning that is essential to the college experience. Our process spares parents from having to consistently prod their students to get the work done. Bringing CCCC aboard will make the college admissions experience both positive and productive for students and parents alike. The results will impact the rest of a student's life. |
Our services strongly support high school counselors. We work closely with them and encourage our students to do the same.
