Learn About Tammy
Tammy Lybrand
19 years of experience
Tammy breaks down financial aid and takes the confusion out of the loan application process. She cherishes the relationships she’s formed with students throughout four years of college and families sending multiple kids to college. When she’s not pouring into her work, Tammy heads home to her rural escape in Gilbert, SC. And she can be found boating, water skiing, or paddle boarding on Lake Murray most weekends in the summer.

Learn About Ray
Ray Jones
22 years of experience
Meeting and helping people at conferences, state departments, and financial aid offices is Ray’s favorite part of the job. Akin to John Travolta in Staying Alive, Ray can rock a suit and collared shirt with style. But he’s most in his element kicking back, watching sports, or hanging with his wife at Lake Murray. It’s been said he makes the best hot dogs and chili around, just ask his admiring patrons, Jake and Daisy—his dogs.
