Publisher and Author, Mary Alice Deveny

My fascination with caregiving began before I was two years old, as the first in a family of nine children born within eleven years.  My passion is helping children and young adults develop the communication skills and confidence they need to make sense of their world and to find their own voices to express their gifts and talents.

To this noble and creative work I bring education and training in English (B.A., Marshall University, magna cum laude), Library Science (Master of Library Science, Louisiana State University), and Florida certification as Educational Media Specialist (prekindergarten - grade 12), PreK/Primary Educator (age 3-grade 3), and Drama Educator (grades 6-12).
