I am a high school and college teacher--English, Journalism, Broadcast Journalism, Art and History. I love to see young people awaken to their talents and potential--especially in writing and the arts. And I love writers who break ground-the Harlem Renaissance writers, Maya Angelou, Jewel, ee cummings, and so many others.
 

Who's Who in American Teachers 2005, 2006. Reading Specialist. Wrote Chords-Sounds of a Journey, published 2001 (CD of 32 poems set to original music). Have completed another book of poetry, a children's book, and am working on a novel. Silver Key Journalism, various teacher awards for Outstanding Service,Distinguished Faculty. Greatest of all was a tattered ribbon from my granddaughter that spelled out "You're the best" in glitter glue. Priorities, people!

I am creating a website that will be up and running soon. My dream is to start my own small publishing company to provide books for children, young people, women that combine words and music, or redefine the experience of reading "books".
