Tara Gardner - Tara Gardner
I have a strong background in both the academic and publishing fields. Prior to teaching, which I have been doing for eleven years, I was a freelance reporter for Thre Press of Atlantic City and also proofread and edited copy for a media company in NJ. I have had articles published in both the Press of AC and also some personal interest pieces for AABGA. I continue to write in my free time, and also use my prolific skills for professional presentations and conferences. I recently obtained my Masters of Arts in English Literature from TCNJ and had a paper on Toni Morrison accepted to the MMLA conference.
