| Introduction | I am the lead counselor at MCC-Maple Woods, a community college in Kansas City, MO, where I coordinate the counseling, academic advising and employment services offered to students and community members. I am the author of Parent's Guide to College and Careers:How to Help, Not Hover, which will be released May, 2010, on Amazon.com and in all major bookstores. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC), a National Certified Career Counselor (NCCC), a Global Career Development Facilitator (GCDF) and a member of the Board of Directors of the Missouri Community College Association (MCCA). I have over 25 years experience as a career counselor helping college students and adult career-changers identify career goals and develop educational plans to achieve those goals. Parent's Guide is an upbeat handbook for parents with down-to-earth advice on how to help young people with career and college planning. Topics include how to choose a college major, how to identify a first career, how to minimize student loan debt and how to make the most of high school courses. Filled with practical, easy to-use resources and web links. |
