WelcomeAfter obtaining Associate and Bachelor’s degrees (Bus. Admin.), I returned to the corporate world to fill my Marketing portfolio. The writing bug bit: I obtained my Master of Science degree in Financial, Technical, and Medical writing at Polytechnic University and paid my journalism dues in all three before obtaining the role that crowned my corporate career: Manager of Communications for a multibillion dollar transportation and global commerce conglomerate. Having served the corporate world as a marketing and communications specialist in addition to being a published, award-winning photographer (photo in New York Historical Society’s archival collection), media presentation trainer, consultant to grade schools, colleges, and corporations in the nuances of global entrepreneurship;creative writing;photojournalism in the States and South Africa, Argentina, Vietnam, and Eastern Europe, I decided to return to graduate school for my second Masters in Academic/Business ESL for Adults, completed in May 2009. I spent the summer of 2008-2009 teaching conversational English to high school students from Spain, Russia, Italy, and Poland. Currently, I’m doing adjunct work in ESL at several colleges, published more articles on “getting it write” and have completed my third Masters in Special Education (grades 1-6). I just finished my first suspense novel and a children's book,which I will be submitting to prospective agents. I’ve also authored and published many articles on aspects of business communication and wrote a writing handbook that was used by over 1,000 professionals during my tenure as Manager of Communications for the global concern. I can also be found online with an award-winning piece for teens and a short mystery story. My corporate annual report won an award from the Society for Technical Communication. I am proud to report that my short murder mystery story is still read online with good reviews ("Death Scents"). |
