My Newest Creation

Although I write a lot of copy, I have been very interested in learning more about SEO and SEM strategies. I started studying more about this niche a few months ago and trying my hand at PR and techniques to rank PearlyWrites higher in the search engines under writing, editing and marketing services. I was actually very surprised PW was ranked at a PR4.

I have been reading and questioning many SEO service experts and appreciate all of their patience and help with my new journey. I was quite shocked and impressed that so many successful SEO entrepreneurs were open to helping me which was a breath of fresh air.

With all this said, I have now started a new site focused on my other desire, education. The new Website is PhDGirl.com and hope to grow it into a place where college and universities will want to advertise and where students and parents come for answers regarding many of life's questions about the big decision of higher education.

Online degrees, PhD degrees, Master degrees, BA degrees and many more programs which a degree or certification can be obtained is easier than you think. Stop on by and let me know how I am doing on PhD Girl.com. It is a work in progress so please be kind...

Orientation and Professor Rating

I had my first orientation at Scottsdale Community College and what a wonderful school! The day was planned out so well and it allowed faculty and adjuncts to become familiar with one another, as well as get to know the campus better.

The head of hospitality made a very funny joke during one of the presentations about RateMyProfessor.com about getting a chili pepper and only a few of us understood. Of course I was one of the few hysterical laughing as I have received a few chili peppers in my past college teaching experiences.

So here are the links directly to my ratings for any of my future students who want to learn more about who I am and what other students have expressed about me as their college Professor and teacher.

Bergen Community College

William Paterson University, Wayne, NJ

Ramapo Ridge Middle School


This always helps in reminding me why I love to teach!

Flutternoia

What is Flutternoia?

While I was getting my BA in English, I had a wonderful English Professor named Dr. Cori Wells. What a wonderful teacher and person.

She presented the class an assignment called Neologism essays. The goal was to make up a word and give the meaning behind how the word came of being and form a definition.

My word was Flutternoia. Unfortunately, I do not know where my essay went. I think it was lost on my back up floppy disk (yes, floppy disk!).

I do remember how I discovered my word. It was after a summer spent in Israel where I taught Israeli students the English language and just the pure adrenaline of living in Israel. It was also around the time of many bus bombings occurring so the combination of everything brought slight paranoia.

Flutternoia came of being from the flutter of butterflies wings you may feel in your stomach from an adrenaline rush with the paranoia that can occur for a split second.

I now use this assignment in my own English classes and am always amazed with the words that my students discover.

SES Tutoring

Before becoming a full time copywriter, I was an English Professor and ran my own private tutoring service in Northern NJ.

A few weeks ago I began researching about an Arizona teacher certification since I am certified in NJ and FL and figured it didn't hurt to look into transferring my credentials here. Searching around I found contract positions with the AZ Dept of Ed and found one quite interesting.

SES is a federally funded program which gives parents the opportunity to let their child be tutored for free. There are some requirements that can be found on the SES Website, http://TutorsForKids.org.

With this interesting find, I inquired about how to get involved. So I am presently working on a proposal to be approved as a vendor to offer tutoring services to the school districts in Arizona.
I will not know if I am approved till December but I am very excited to get the chance to continue contributing to the educational world.

I guess the teacher in me will never die.
