A graduate of Emerson College and Rutgers University School of Law\, she prides herself on guiding students to master all areas of communication. The warm reception for her self-published novel\, Treasure\, based on Shakespeare’s The Tempest\, inspired her to retire from a twenty-year law practice to follow creative pursuits. Her texts\, Talk it Out: Mastering Critical Discourse and No Words: Mastering Nonverbal Communication assist students and professionals with critical thinking\, perception and public presentation. Among her other works is her photo-exploration\, To A Lighthouse which delights juveniles and adults with beautiful photos of each New Jersey lighthouse and engaging family-bonding exercises. She serves as an adjunct at both Kean and Monmouth Universities\, offers private workshops for professionals\, operates a portrait studio\, manages a virtual art gallery\, and continues to publish fiction and nonfiction work.
