 My name is Shelley Krause, and I am a storyteller and a matchmaker, both by inclination and profession. At this point in my life, that means that I work as a college counselor in an independent school in New Jersey's Delaware Valley (USA). I spend my autumns coaching essay-writing, my winters modeling and preaching patience and perspective, my springs getting to know a new group of students as I help them get to know themselves, and my summers thinking deeply about each of my rising seniors in turn as I write letters in support of their candidacy for university admission. I "learn out loud" at http://relaxnoreally.blogspot.com I also help to coordinate a wiki of college lists, which you can see at http://collegelists.pbworks.com I'm always on the lookout for other college / guidance folks who are interested in social media. (Talk to me!) I love connecting, and have listed and/or archived some of my recent conversations/presentations here. In addition to my "day job," I maintain an active role in my communities. I have served as the clerk of the Princeton Friends School's Board, in addition to serving on the board of the Delaware-Raritan Girl Scout Council (now the Girl Scouts of Central and Southern NJ). I'd love to hear from you about what you're up to or what you think we could productively collaborate on. I'm emailable at shelley.krause (at) gmail (dot) com. |
