Author Bio

Who is Christopher L. Gadsden as a person and as a professional I grew up in one of the best states in the country, New York. Yes, I have a bias, but it shaped who I am. I was born in the small town of Johnson City, located near Binghamton, NY. My parents who were born and raised in the south, taught us- my twin brother, my sister, and I- to be supportive of all people and to help those who don't have a voice. This principle is one of the mantras of my life.
Throughout this book, you will read experiences that are mine or from others who have permitted me to share in hopes that it will help you understand what it truly means to be a great school counselor in the K-12 educational system.
