Gender Female

Occupation Career Guidance Specialist
Location Orange County, CA
Introduction BA English - 1984 University of So. California; Career Guidance Experience: 2 Years with the Fashion Institute of Design & ; Merchandising (FIDM) and now in my 4th year as an on campus high school Career Guidance Specialist. This blog is for the mildly confused teenager to the absolutely clueless student and the "What the heck?" parent. As a parent of 2 college age students myself, I'm living this scenario. Now an empty nester with my husband of 24 years, I want to share a bit of what I now know, what I'm still learning and what I wish I did know when our kids were in high school. My comments are part professional, part personal and part perplexed ponderings!
Interests College Search, Career Exploration for the Young Adult, Scholarship Tips, College Admissions, Parental Guidance
Favorite Movies Cassablanca! Didn't actual see it until about college time... but a classic favorite for sure. All the "Rick's" of the world, where have you gone?
Favorite Music Mostly mild contemporary (is that even a genre?), some musical theatre, anything my daughter Brooke sings and some Christian artists to remind myself on what keeps me grounded.
Favorite Books Too many to list.

Q: What was the most random job I've ever held? A: Running the "Pepsi Challenge" booth at the Orange County Fair - Summer 1980.
