For the first time in 37 years, William Paterson University awarded an honor of "with distinction" to a graduate recipient who took the NJ state examination. I was the recipient of that, in the area of Educational Media certification and endorsement, grades k-12. Prior to that I was certified in education, from P-8. I am also a member of AAUW, American University Women, as well as DKG. I was the vice president for four years for the Theta Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma, an educational Honor Society, through invitation only, as well as Pi Lambda Theta. I am a member of the Liberty States Fiction Writers and recently attended their convention. I also attend a writers' group through the Montclair Public Library. I am a member of both Writers' Digest VIP program and AWAI (American Writers) and constantly take workshops regarding social media and writing.

I just completed writing children's ebooks which are with the publisher now, for illustrations. They will also be marketed as audio books for blind children and then will be published in print.
