<\/a>It\u2019s been exciting, starting to work with KIDS FIRST! a few weeks ago as newsletter editor. I\u2019ve had the pleasure of working with Ranny Levy and Ann Church for several years through KIDS FIRST!\u2019s association with Moving Pictures, a publication where I also ply my pen and red pencil as a writer\/editor.\n\u00a0
\nMy career in journalism began during my earlier career as a teacher. I had the opportunity to be involved with the development of a language arts enrichment program that mixed literature, drama and art \u2014 and my rendition of Jewish folktale \u201cIt Could Be Worse\u201d was one of the series of books distributed through Amazon.com. Not long after completing that project, I became managing editor and lead writer for a start-up local lifestyle magazine. I founded my company, Grammar & Glitz Inc., in 2002, and have taken writing and editing gigs with corporations and publications nationwide. The pleasure is all mine as I continually get to explore a wide variety of subjects and meet a diversity of wonderful people.<\/p>\n
Quality programming and arts resonate especially strongly with me. With extensive community service involvement over the years in youth organizations, I currently focus my efforts on Rosie\u2019s House: A Music Academy for Children. I\u2019ve served many years on the board of directors of this nonprofit that provides instruments and free, professional music instruction to the underserved youth of Phoenix.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
