Hi. My name is Ginger Buehner. For many years, I worked at Gateway Technical College, providing career, academic and personal counseling services. I also provided job search assistance and counseling to students and graduates of the technical college. I truly enjoyed the relationships with students, faculty and employers. I have enjoyed opportunities to mentor new counseling staff and also graduate level counseling interns.
I have a B.S. in Social Work, Carroll University and M.S. in Counseling (Higher Education emphasis), University of Wisconsin, Whitewater. Prior employment includes work with adults with disabilities in a variety of positions including job training coach, vocational evaluator and independent living counselor.
I live in Elkhorn with my husband, Kurt , and our rescue dog, Spuds (border collie and grey hound mix)! We are fortunate that our grown children (son, Kyle & daughter Amy and husband Greg) also live in the area. 2011 was an exciting year as I became a grandma to Brooklyn Crystine! Outdoor activities are top on my list: hiking, snowshoeing, biking, wildflower & herb gardening and CSA (community shared agriculture) worker at local organic farms. I also love reading whenever I can and have been a book club member for the past 10 years.
The Certified Resume Writer and Editor (CRWE) program provided an arena for me to sharpen my skills, broaden awareness of resources and connect with other professionals, thus expanding my network! The CRWE instructor, Marie Smith was supportive and encouraging; her knowledge and expertise truly enhanced my experience and the opportunity for professional growth. I would highly recommend the CRWE program to any professionals in the employment field!
