- About me: Dr Carol is a former University Dean and Associate Provost, trained therapist, researcher, educational consultant and writer.  During her training, she counseled hundreds of clients in one\-on\-one sessions as well as in group settings where her work was with college freshman dealing with transitional and developmental issues on campus.  Her primary research focus is female self\-esteem development among teens.  Her published dissertation “The effects of single gender versus coeducational environments on the self\-esteem development and academic competence of high school females” focused on 15 year old girls in the Bay Area where her research findings showed disturbingly low levels of self\-esteem across the board.  This staggering discovery has led her to further research this topic and write a book.  Her book called Girl Talk: Boys, Bullies and Body Image, is a compilation of interviews with teens girls on the topic of self\-esteem while offering an effective and practical system designed to RAISE \(Resilience, Attitude, Independence, Self\-Respect and Empowerment\) teen self\-esteem.  In addition, she runs workshops for non\-profits and high schools interested in adding self\-esteem training into their overall mission.
