Women of Distinction Magazine Selects Victoria Devine as a Distinguished Professional in Her Field

    VOORHEES, NJ, May 30, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Victoria Devine, Elementary School Teacher and Teacher of Students with Disabilities, Private Tutor, and Children's Book Author, has been recognized with an Excellence Award as a Distinguished Professional in her field through Women of Distinction Magazine. Victoria Devine will be featured in an upcoming edition of the Women of Distinction Magazine in 2016.

An Elementary and Students with Disabilities Teacher for more than 10 years in the state of New Jersey, Devine is known for stressing the importance of reading and writing. She holds a competitive writing contest each year with 4th and 5th graders, and just this year one of her 4th graders was chosen to have her work copyrighted in a magazine. Her goal is to develop a passion for learning, while also developing students' confidence necessary to succeed academically.

Three years ago, Devine decided it was time to write her own children's book, 'Santa's Bully Elf'. Written and published as a way to promote an anti-bullying message, the book intertwines Christmas spirit with an elf, one of the main characters, who happens to be a Golden Retriever named Sparky.

"My book was written for elementary school aged children to teach them how wrong and hurtful bullying is to others through a familiar narrative of the holiday season," Devine said. "As an author, I wanted children to understand that everyone should be treated the same. Our society spends too much time analyzing and judging others. We need to be more accepting of everyone, especially since we live in an extremely diverse world."

As a teacher, Devine began sharing her story in the classroom with students and other teachers and it has become widely accepted. With plans to writing a sequel soon, 'Santa's Bully Elf' can be purchased on her website, BarnesandNobles.com, Amazon.com, and Goodreads.com.
Devine is also the owner of a very successful tutoring business, which she promotes by herself. She is the recipient of a 2016 Excellence Award from Women of Distinction Magazine. Devine can also be found on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Devine is scheduling author visits at libraries, bookstores, and schools. She has also been getting requests from local bookstores to stock her book. If you are interested, please email her at: [email protected]. You can also visit www.santasbullyelf.com.
