In April 2007, I read a couple of poems at a Poetry Reading Event sponsored by the Glendale Public Library, along with fellow poet Sona Ovasapian during a poetry seminar taught by Carolyn Howard-Johnson.
During this event I was presented with a certificate of recognition from the California State Assembly.
I was featured in the ARS women's cultural program of the cable Horizon TV on April 15, 2007.
